When the killer meets the magician

I would not interpret the ambiguous relationship between the killer Raven and the female magician Ellen as-"They both suffer from Stockholm Syndrome". This is really boring. "Movies shouldn't be appreciated in this way." I personally prefer to interpret the emotional connection between them in this way. At that moment, Raven's "mind is fragile", at that moment, Ellen's motherhood exploded.
Of course, regarding the story between them, the ending must be tragic. (If there is really something between them). Because, in the eyes of the director (in the traditional thinking of the United States), "the murderer pays for his life". However, when Raven learned that Ellen hadn't betrayed him before he died, he was still "relieved" to die.
Finally, let’s talk about the big man behind the scenes in the film, that is, the old capitalist in a wheelchair. He is in order to realize the "maximum profit" of the company he owns, he will not hesitate to kill innocent people, and even betray the United States frantically. His national interests have become a veritable "traitor".
The setting of this plot by the director Frank Tuttle in the film is extremely powerful proof of my consistent view of Hollywood, that is-"The vast majority of Hollywood filmmakers are political leftists."
