However, when the killer was ordered to kill his old partner Harry, he hesitated. He was not as decisive as usual, but stood at the door of his house and looked at the night sky in a melancholy night. But he was still the cold-blooded killer, so he carried out the task, facing Harry, he didn't ask the truth, just pulled the trigger a few seconds slower than usual.
He is a killing machine. He has no feeling at all when he kills, and it has even become a habit for him. The feeling of killing will come to my mind only when I go back to my wooden house after killing someone, put on a film record, and burn the pictures of the target. And the death of old Harry brought him far more pain than he had received before.
As for old Harry, I was puzzled at first why he didn't explain the facts to Arthur, and then I understood what he said: "Even if you didn't kill me, he would still send someone to kill me." He knew he was going to die, It was a relief to choose to die at the hands of Arthur.
As for the old Harry's son Steve, and Arthur in stark contrast. He is young, impulsive, and reckless. Even though Arthur clearly analyzed the target he was going to kill for the first time, and even told the method of killing and the matters to be paid attention to, Steve still did not do it, and ended up killing himself He struggled to kill the target until his head was broken, which was a thankless effort. That's why the game between him and Arthur ended in his death. He was conceited even to death, thought Arthur was dead, and scoffed at the note Arthur left him. So all the accidents in the film (except Arthur's mistakenly killing old Harry) are basically caused by Steve, the car thief once, the two-foot-six man once, and the fat man once taught.
Although the plot of the film is described by some people as vulgar, I still feel that the director and screenwriter put a lot of thought into it. I dare say that this ending is basically beyond everyone's expectations. After all, most people will think that this kind of plot must end with everyone happy, Steve forgives Arthur, and the two release their past suspicions and work together to become the best partner. This kind of inverse calculation is more suitable for the theme of the machine. So, the director's way of thinking is quite unique.
Some people say that fight scenes are not very enjoyable. It is true that when the fight comes, there are all kinds of shaking shots, fast shots, and even killing the boss at the end is faster than expected, but the rhythm of the film is indeed well grasped, there is no ordinary action movie hero and heroine sell meat all over the bed. The scene without the passion of the male lead and the second male lead, and the opening minutes without lines is also a good introduction to the characteristics and work of the male lead. However, I really didn't understand the scene where the second male was hopping around in the room with headphones on and drinking wine after his father died...
By the way, the male protagonist is a nearly 50-year-old 67-year-old. The charm of an old man is really unstoppable! The muscles are even, the man is full of energy, and the face is not bad = =Instant uncle is in control.
