There is nothing surprising about the story itself, it can be summed up in one word: it depends on the word "ruthless" when it comes out. After the scum Freddy was released from prison, he and Jimmy killed the Quartet with the word "ruthless". Under the remote control of the gangsters in prison, they quickly became the leader of a drug dealer in a realm. The appearance is infinite, and the family is in a mess. In the end, she was stabbed to death by her sister-in-law with scissors in the hair salon.
The highlight of this play is that it is very humane to shape the scumbag Freddy, and the actor is the handsome Tom Hardy who is suitable for playing the hero of justice. The director's focus is not on the fighting and killing of the usual gangster films, but a panoramic view of the family life of Freddy's husband and wife, parents, and parents-in-law's family. How scum is made. The audience can clearly see this from Freddie's father, his wife and three sisters, his partner Jimmy, Freddie's son, and their living environment. Even Jimmy, in the end, was properly refined into a scum.
Although the scale of this play is slightly larger, and it is a handsome guy who is very human to play the villain. However, when it comes to gangster films with social and educational significance, I personally think this drama can be ranked among the top three in the world. In comparison, no matter Hong Kong's "Young and Dangerous" and "The True Colors of Heroes", Japan's "Pole Dao" series, Hollywood's "Godfather", "Once Upon a Time in America", and even the recently popular "The Irishman", all of them have not beautified the gangster. The suspicion of a villain, after reading it, many people will want to live in the rivers and lakes where the gang is happy, affectionate, righteous, and infatuated with money.
Seeing Freddy's beastly inferior and cruel, perverted and twisted life, and finally dying in shame, seeing Freddy's wife sinking in alcohol, especially seeing Freddy's son killing little Jimmy, it is estimated that no one will yearn for it Such a bloody and filthy life in the rivers and lakes.
