Why no one pays attention to the protagonist’s professional background and the "magic" of the murder plan

After reading a lot of comments, most of them stayed in the last mail, justice, good and evil, and so on. I want to talk about my views from other angles.

The film is undoubtedly wonderful in terms of perception and experience, but logical flaws and unclear theme views still prevent it from becoming a true classic.

Simple logical loopholes will not be repeated here. What I am more concerned about is that everyone doesn’t seem to pay much attention to how Clyde achieves these bizarre layouts. An engineer who seemed ordinary at the beginning was later "defined" as a hidden identity as a spy. Such a "killing expert", such a change is very abrupt. For the time being, if he is a high-level agent who has done meritorious service, he is so helpless in his own tragedy, but he has to go through the most basic legal procedures. May I ask what his superiors are doing and what happened to such a tragedy? But it doesn't explain what kind of plot development the protagonist's professional background will bring. Well, even if all of this was taken in one stroke, I would like to ask if the protagonist is an excellent spy expert, can he accurately arrange such a large murder plan with a large number of accidental factors alone, obviously deifying a "person". His professional background is not enough to support that series of accurate and magical killing plans, which is the biggest logical problem.

The controversy of the theme also determines that it cannot reach the height similar to "Shawshank's Redemption". However, any film that is regarded as a classic has a deep theme but not complicated. The thing that the film wants to convey should be clear and should not be. There are totally different understandings of this and that. The behavior and thoughts of the two heroes in this film are not clear enough, resulting in unclear words and unclear tendencies in the theme.

I look forward to more people discussing the above two points.

    7/10. This film is difficult to score between 3 and 4 stars. The key is whether you agree with the protagonist's approach (although this kind of illogical and wanting to criticize the system revolution, his grandma's approach TM is a joke), other things like gimmicks, scenes, and narratives The rhythm is impeccable. In addition, in the ungraded version I watched, the judge headshot was taken aback.
