The purpose of the male protagonist's trip to Russia is to complete a diamond smuggling transaction, the subject of which is 12 valuable blue diamonds.

Arrived at the agreed joint location, which is the hotel in St. Petersburg where the male protagonist first checked in. (From the degree of familiarity between the front desk aunt and the male protagonist, it is clear that the male protagonist is already an "industry veteran"). Piyoto did not deliver the goods according to the agreement, and the male protagonist was in desperation. At this time, the buyer came to his door and asked threateningly why the male protagonist had not delivered the goods. The male protagonist had to take a delay and ask the buyer for grace. Two days, the buyer asked how to compensate, and the male protagonist offered a 2% discount of 1 million U.S. dollars (from this we can see that the total price of 12 blue diamonds should be 50 million U.S. dollars).

The host decided to go to Piyoto’s usual small hotel, which is the town where the hostess’s house is, and look for Piyoto (by the way, I met the hostess). Unfortunately, he ran out again, but he found it in the hotel room. A blue candle that was exactly the same as in the previous St. Petersburg hotel room, and the candle was given to the hostess.

The male protagonist has a wife in the United States, but it seems that he has a bad relationship with his wife. There is a detail in the movie. The male protagonist has a video conversation with his wife. Before finishing talking about his wife, he shut down the video. Obviously, he has a lot of affection for the male protagonist. indifferent. This is also a prerequisite for him and the heroine to develop a lover relationship.

At first, the brothers of the heroine had a bad impression of the hero, but through hunting later, they changed their view of the hero. One of the hostess’s brothers accidentally injured his hound while hunting the bear. When everyone was helpless, the host decisively shot the hound from a long distance to end his pain. This behavior won everyone’s respect. And good impressions. (Russia is a brave and martial nation)

With the help of the hostess, the male protagonist found Piyoto’s cousin Andre, and he knew the truth about Piyoto’s untimely appointment. Piyoto had "learned badly", and began to use fake diamonds instead of talking about justice. The buyer was deceived everywhere, and he was being chased by a group of ex-special soldiers, so he avoided meeting with the male protagonist. At this time, the male protagonist was called a cold, he knew that even if he saw Piyoto, he would definitely not get the real one, so whether he wanted it or not, he would definitely breach the contract with the buyer.

Going back to the hotel in St. Petersburg, I found the secret of the blue candle. It turns out that Piotto likes to hide the blue diamond in the candle (it seems that the color of the candle represents the color of the diamond hidden inside), and he found the blue in the hotel room in St. Petersburg. Hidden in the colored candle is a real diamond. The host asked the hostess to bring the candle he found in the small hotel before. At this time, the relationship between the two parties was not deep, so I speculated that when the hostess asked the host, "Did you just want me to come?" Let me bring this candle to you?" The male protagonist replied "No, I miss you too much" to lie to the female protagonist. The purpose is to let the female protagonist bring the candle to himself with peace of mind.

After getting another blue diamond, the male protagonist checked it with a magnifying glass. It didn’t seem to be different, but when it was measured in the spectrometer, it immediately found its original shape, so he concluded that Andre had promised that “these fake diamonds and There is really no difference at all, and buyers will definitely not see it. "It's all fools."

At this time, the situation was already rushing, and the male protagonist could only go to the danger alone, with the only true blue diamond in his hand to see the buyer. And give this blue diamond to the buyer, meaning that it is not safe to carry all 12 diamonds on your body. For fear of being hacked, I will give you one first. When the buyer saw that what he got was the genuine one, he believed it. Originally, the matter ended here, the male protagonist planned to escape and quickly returned to the United States. Unexpectedly, the female protagonist, in line with the simplicity of the country girl, wanted to give the male protagonist a long face, dressed in garish clothes, ran to the trading location of the male protagonist and the buyer, but the buyer used it as an excuse to "worship the handle" with the male protagonist. At this time, the male protagonist really fell in love with the female protagonist, because the other party was willing to make such a big sacrifice for himself.

After returning to the hotel in St. Petersburg again, several black agents threatened the male owner to help them cheat the transaction money from the buyer with the life safety of the heroine. Why do I call this group of "black" agents, the reason is very simple, the director The explanation was very clear. The male protagonist asked to call the U.S. Embassy. The leader pretended to ask his subordinates, "Do we have the phone number of the U.S. Embassy?" The subordinates had no response. That means you weigh yourself, what are we doing, and will you be reasonable? These people gave the male lead a card, which should be their bank account number, and explained to the male lead that they only need money and will escort the male lead to the airport after the work is done, which means that the male lead will help them "a small favor" before leaving and return That is, the male lead can safely arrive at the airport. The hero had to bite the bullet and do it. During the delivery process, the buyer’s partner almost saw it through. Fortunately, the protagonist took advantage of the buyer’s loyalty to the brothers, and passed the blunder.

When I arrived at the airport, the hostess who was waiting for the plane thought that if he left like this, the buyer found that he was cheated, he must have to settle the account by himself. If he found that he had returned to the United States, then the heroine must be the next unlucky one, no. , Even though he and the heroine are just dew couples, they can't pit a woman who is willing to make huge sacrifices for herself. So decisively decided to find the heroine. The plot here once again confirms that the previous group of agents are not good people. If the official wants to deport a person, then this person will be restricted from freedom until boarding the plane, and it is impossible for him to leave the airport easily. But what the male protagonist here enjoys is the real "escort service." He promises to send you to the airport and only send you there. As for whether you want to leave, it is your own business.

Back at the hometown of the heroine, the hero was ready to die at this time, but he didn't want to die just like that, and didn't want to involve the heroine and her brothers, so he contacted someone who he had used before. The South African who helped, this person should also be in a diamond smuggling business, ask him to help make up a nonsense, saying that he wants to buy those 12 diamonds, delaying the buyer for a day. What is this day used for? Naturally, it is to say goodbye to the hostess, and the other thing is the last thing, it's cool, as the saying goes, "Death under the peony flower, you can also be a ghost"!

In the end, the male protagonist took the shotgun given to him by the female protagonist’s brother to fight a killer gun battle with the buyer. Why do I say that the male protagonist is here to ask for death instead of destroying the other party and retreat? Because if he really wants to do this, there is no need to use this World War II-style shotgun, he can afford to fly a private jet, and it is not a matter of minutes to get a big killer like the one in "The Matrix"! And in the end he killed all the killers, but he didn't kill the leader of the killer, who was also the buyer's partner, in order to save one to report back to the buyer, telling the buyer that the revenge has been reported, and that's it. .

One thing I appreciate about the male protagonist is that one person does everything and the other is the one. The heroine’s brother persuaded him at the last moment to take the female protagonist and fly back to the United States. If he wanted to go, he still had no problem, but he refused, because if he did that, Although he and the heroine are fine, but the heroine's brothers must be unlucky.

PS: The rating of this movie is not high. In my opinion, many people gave low ratings because they didn't understand it. I hope this film review I wrote will help you understand the theme of this movie.
