Whistleblower this type of subject matter, you will find a lot of them when you search, it is better than this plot, the gun battle is exciting, the script is much more powerful, but I like this one very much, let me talk about my personal experience. (Don't watch serious spoilers if you haven't watched the movie)
The film revolves around a family and 3 organizations, Peter and his wife Sofia, and daughter Anna. NYPD, the largest police station in the world, the FBI, one of the most mysterious agencies in the United States, and the Polish drug dealer group are controlled by The.General.
First introduce the protagonist. Peter is a veteran who has made meritorious service after retiring. He loves his wife and daughter very much. Five years ago, he was sentenced to 20 years in a bar because someone harassed his wife and killed him. He was found on parole by the FBI and asked him to be an informant to arrest The General, the boss of the Polish drug dealer group. The FBI suffers from no evidence and can only pin its hopes on him. At the beginning of the film, Peter had a chance. He and the nephew of the drug dealer boss transported a batch of goods to the boss. Unexpectedly, there was an oolong in the middle. A new recruit from the New York Police Department disturbed the mission and was recognized by Peter. Unfortunately, he was spotted by the nephew of the drug dealer's boss. The policeman was shot to death. Unlucky Peter began his tragic journey.
Killing the police is a big deal. Soon The General summoned Peter for the simple reason that he hoped that Peter would make up for him. He gave Peter a seemingly simple but difficult choice, and went back to prison to help him defeat his competitors and monopolize the drug business. It would take 5 years for Petet to come out at the earliest. Of course, the story here is the arrangement of the drug dealer boss.
Peter was panicked. He certainly couldn't do what he was told. He contacted Wilcox, his police officer. Wilcox told him that he could use his plan and find evidence to arrest The.General. And promised that he would protect Sofia and Anna.
If they are ordinary people here, they may be grateful and desperate to complete the task. But Peter is very sophisticated. He left a hand and he recorded the conversation between him and the FBI. I didn't quite understand it at the time, but I thought about it again: Yes, if you don't do this, wouldn't the other party regret it? I appreciate the worst side of this kind of thinking beforehand, because it can prepare everything to the greatest extent possible.
A policeman died in New York, and it is certain that the NYPD will not let it go. Sure enough, our handsome detective Edward appeared. He thought Peter was the murderer at first, and directly confronted the FBI. This frightened Wilcox's boss Keith. He didn't want to be known by the New York Police Department about what he did, although he didn't say anything at the time. But I vaguely felt that the FBI was going to clean up the portal.
Before long, the camera came to the scene where Wilcox and Keith were alone. Keith said something meaningful: I don’t know anything about this action. It was Wilcox's own initiative to please the leader, which led to the sacrifice of the New York police. If Wilcox dared to help Peter, she would also go to jail. In the end, she downplayed a sentence. : I started working in that corner of this building 23 years ago. I guess Wilcox should understand: Everything came up on someone's corpse.
It's alright now, the FBI let Peter die, and the gang let him die. The only NYPD who could save him is still unaware. I can imagine if I was Peter's mood at the time, Peter almost took his life to find the list of Polish drug dealers in prison, and finally joined the warden but found out that he was sold. This feeling is almost the same as those who have sacrificed their lives for the country but are framed as traitors, and feel that the other party likes themselves but is playing with themselves.
Even so, when Sofia found out, and Peter clearly said that she wanted her to protect Anna and herself, she still tried to contact Edward to help. Let's fall down here. At the beginning of the film, Peter almost said to Sofia in a commanding language: I will leave as soon as you two to one o'clock. In the end Sofia still didn't listen. Sofia said: We tried, we fling tried, we drove around in the car and hoped that you could come back. I thought: This should be the highest level of love. Everyone knows that the kind of things that Peter does can be horrible, at the risk of his daughter also getting in. Sofia waited stubbornly for her man, which was more advanced than blocking bullets.
Unfortunately, Wilcox showed up in time and took the tape. Anna was kidnapped by a drug dealer on the way home, but fortunately, she dialed Edward's phone in time. Edward did not disappoint the audience to show up in time. After a fight, Sofia saved Edward's life and shot himself. The plot was embarrassing, haha.
At this moment in jail, Peter was not idle in jail either, kidnapped the guard to the top floor. Hope to have a phone call with his wife and daughter as well as media calls. If you are a straight guy, you might think, isn't this an SB? It's no use. I think so too (cover my face). Peter got through the phone and knew that his wife and daughter were safe. Of course, he certainly didn't know that his wife had been shot. He saw that the FBI was coming, and the show began.
He changed his clothes and then awoke the guard pretending to exchange identities with the guard, of course I admit that this was a failure. But it is not important, because this is not a documentary. Eventually Peter escaped and was seen by Wilcox, and followed him into the ambulance. To be honest, at first I was worried that Wilcox would go out of his mouth.
Maybe the director didn't want Pei Chunhua to be a villain. Wilcox finally gave Peter the gun and a note. I guess it was the location of the tape. Let go of Peter. The story is coming to an end.
When the camera came to a speedboat, Wilcox successfully made an appointment with his boss, and told him the truth, and finally the boss was taken away. My inner phantom monologue at the time was: now my old lady can sit on your stomach (doggie).
The next scene should be a few days later and the last scene: Wilcox takes Sofia and Anna to a park. Peter hides in the distance to observe, and soon finds plainclothes, he is very angry before leaving, Edward shows up and tells He had no choice but the police were still stalking his family. He needs to keep a low profile for a while, and the New York Police Department will take care of it.
Finally, Peter and Sofia looked at each other affectionately, Sofia shed tears, Peter left in a hurry, and the detectives found something wrong and chased up, but unfortunately no figure was found.
It looks like this is an undercover successful revenge, but in fact, it is this family that impressed me the most. Petet is very low-key. Although he can't speak, he loves his wife very much. When he sees his wife being bullied, he doesn't hesitate to squash those scumbags. It's a pity that the start is a bit heavy and I got in by myself.
Although the screenwriter and director did not explain Sofia, she was obviously an ordinary girl with no gorgeous family background, not to mention a famous university graduate or an ordinary woman. But even if her man has been in jail for several years, she may die at any time when she is forced to become an informant. She has never abandoned her husband. The police in the middle said that since Petet went to jail, Sofia and Anna would go back to see him every visit day. When he knew that Peter might be ill-fortuned, he did not hesitate to wait for him to come back. Because both Peter and Sofia know: their wife (husband) will abandon herself at any time and will definitely work hard to return to her.
The family concept of Europeans and Americans is different from ours, in their eyes: Family is everything. Countries are ranked behind home. I really envy this virtual couple: it is not terrible if you are not by my side, because I know you will come back sooner or later, and you don't have to worry about me because I will wait for your return with the child.
The old people say that those who are near Zhu are red and those who are black are black. In fact, what kind of person matches what kind of person. You are a caring and positive energy, so naturally you will attract another partner just like you. The perfect love is not a prince or princess, but at any time: you will always be my backing, and I will cheer for you, because you will do the same for me.
