feeling seriously flawed

The reversal of the characters is very fast. It feels like Mission Impossible, Impossible, Impossible. I feel that everyone's role has changed without solid support, but I feel a little thin.

Specifically, 90% of Hans's character's previous plot shows that he is a heroic image of sunshine and heroism. In the end, the mystery is revealed, and he has become the biggest conspirator. The transformation of the two is not self-evident. Hans has multiple identities, positive and negative roles, and finally settled on the pursuit of money. This person with the halo of the protagonist, a heroic character, suffered a big defeat at the last moment, which is incomprehensible. He was engaged in a heroic cause of resistance, risked a lot of life, and finally got the light, actually killed because of the treasure and fled with the money.

The presentation of the character does not match what he is doing. His multiple identities were originally very tense, and the conflict was so great. One side was to save his compatriots, and the other side was to harm them. His inner entanglement should be very strong. For example, he knew that going to prison would be death. Can you calm down? What the movie shows is a very brave, sunny, fearless and simple-minded image. He has been a traitor for a long time, and on the surface he has to maintain a righteous image. It should be a scheming and thoughtful image that makes sense.

And some of the plots are unreasonable. Since Hans knew that he was going to die during the prison robbery, how did he rush into the shootout and still get out? Is it possible for Hans to know Van Gein, the middle man? Why didn't Van say a word when he killed him?

Although it is "changed according to the real", the character creation always feels strange.
