belief in justice

It is an understandable logic to frame the wrong because of justice, lose the faith because of the frame, and personally punish the bad people because of the loss of faith.
Just don't understand why Roster (Al Pacino) kills all the people who are inextricably linked to Turk (Robert De Niro). Perhaps it was because Rost had regarded Turk as a belief in his heart, so he punished all the bad guys that Turk hated deeply with "justice".
However, maybe the director gave us a suspense in the end. Maybe, both of them have killed people, otherwise how can the people who start to die are basically shot in the head, and the last Russian who survived was actually shot in the body? That doesn't fit the logic of a serial killer. In the final confession, Rost asked Turk to read aloud in his own name. Did he also want to tell Turk that he actually knew him well, that he was protecting him, and that Turk was also doing his own redemption to everyone? Rost died with their beliefs, leaving Turk himself, believing that Turk might continue their "career", which would also lay the groundwork for the sequel.
You think you know who the murderer is, but maybe you don't at all!
What will you do when everyone agrees that fair, just, and open laws have no way to deal with those bad guys who have committed crimes but are at large without evidence? Especially if you are a person with the right to exercise the right to violence, what will you do? I think everyone has a sense of protecting the weak in their hearts. Take those terrorist organizations for example, their earliest idea was to change the world and build a new order through their own efforts. But when they work hard, struggle, and bleed, they still find that the world is not what they imagined, and their thoughts and beliefs will also change, and now all they can do is to use their full strength to destroy this as much as they can. world. This is very dialectical thinking.
Today, you are an angelic policeman of justice, but when you violate the current rules of this world, you become a diabolical criminal who represents evil. The two sides of things may be just between you and one thought. I don't believe Roster is the only perpetrator, and maybe it wouldn't be fair to call him the perpetrator. He just wants to maintain the dignity of the law and protect weak civilians in his own way. Since the law can't do it, he can. Sometimes I think, how can the laws made by human beings themselves bind all people? Even if the laws are sound and democratic and free like the United States, it is impossible to make all the bad people do business with the law. Simpson is an example. Everyone knows that he did it. Yes, but you have no way, the law set him free. And the dead can't get justice. It is estimated that many people yearn for superman or mysterious power to punish those who escaped legal punishment, but when they appear, they live by your side, are you afraid? Do you think they are bad people too? What are your criteria for judging?
