The story structure of this film is actually very simple, with two brothers as the main line, two mounted police as auxiliary lines, and a cat-and-mouse game with crime and police, but it is not limited to this. In the play, it is a metaphor for the resistance under the exploitation of the small town system. Through the mouths of the Indian mounted police, it is mentioned that in the past, Texas was white people plundering the land of the Indians, but modern Texas has been reduced to being looted by banks, and it stands out on the road of depression. With an advertisement for a loan, cowboys on the road complain that no more young people want to stay at home, and flock to the casino to struggle for a living. In the film, the two protagonists chose to rob the bank to pay off the bank loan, which can be said to be a Robin Hood-style revenge. "Going through fire and water" is a high-level American western crime film. The development of the whole film is full of thrills, exciting and exciting, without sloppy gun battle scenes, and solidly stacked character depth. From the perspective of a divorced father, it indirectly reflects the current American society. The status quo hides the dark humor of satirizing the beneficiaries. In just one short film, it makes people think and cry, and eloquently tells a postmodern survival fable of the counterattack of human nature.
