The film tells the life story of Arthur, a worker in a heavy machinery factory. It raises tit-for-tat questions and condemnations of today's medical and insurance systems, condenses the problems that many ordinary people have encountered in real life, and reflects the current disadvantages of society. Of course, it is also because of the excellent performances of many stars, led by Denzel Washington.

Some viewers even criticized the film for encouraging people to use violence to deal with troubles in their lives.
