The loose narrative structure is a major flaw in the film. It could have been a model story in which blood is thicker than water, and it is full of passionate tone of family affection and revenge. Unfortunately, the director who told the story turned it into a nagging action movie. In the end, the scene of Boby's revenge and triumph was too low, and he gave the most worthwhile opportunity to express the character's heart in a slow motion that calmly "good guys don't look back". However, in the first 30 minutes or so, the feeling of brokenness between the responsibilities and emotions between the hands and feet of the father and son was indeed full of tension, but it was a pity.

Before I knew it, I had to watch James Gray's films over and over again, and I found that his films do not need to pursue too much the so-called small pattern of good and evil. The rigidity of the drama is the most interesting part of the relationship between the characters. Constant hesitation and exhaustion are the essence of every play. There is really no more suitable actor in Hollywood than Phoenix for his movie. I like it very much.

Mark and Joaquin have obviously become more mature after 7 years between the last part of the New York trilogy and the previous one. . .
