the devil is around

As a crime movie, this film adheres to the consistent style of crime movies, with violence and blood but with deep meaning. The confrontation between the pros and cons in the film is a highlight of the film.

Revenge is actually a very old storyline, but it can often create a different story core. And this revenge can reflect human nature. The male protagonist has a revenge mentality. I think it is human nature. We always imagine that the person who harms others will suffer the same treatment when we are hurt by others. Unlike us, the male protagonist will take action. He suppresses the anger and grief in his heart by hunting the murderer again and again, but it is a pity that the pain of losing a loved one will not be replaced by the pleasure of killing the enemy, so in order to kill a murderer. Is it the right way to be a demon and become another demon, I believe the movie gives us the answer.

At the end of the movie, the male protagonist walks in an endless passage where he can't see where he comes from and where he goes. What will his future be like? When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares into you. Don't be blinded and destroyed by hatred, all we can do in the face of demons is to warn ourselves not to be a demon!

I hope we all live in a "heaven" where angels are everywhere and don't know what demons are!
