The beginning of the film is not long, in fact, the theme has been revealed, and the remaining one and a half hours is nothing more than to prove it from many aspects. The first is the monologue of the old policeman: the seniors in the past did not even need to carry a gun when handling the case. As soon as the screen turns, the police officer has been handcuffed to the suspect and strangled to death with his bare hands. As usual, shouldn't the prisoner be obediently waiting to go to jail? Then, a killer with a 19th-century bustard hairstyle shot an old man with an air blast and robbed his car. Interestingly, the old man watched the air blast gun explode his head. He did not resist or panic. On the contrary, he was a little curious. He might think that the obligatory clinic has been opened in the desert; the cowboy saw Mexicans trading drugs. At the scene, the two sides didn't even kill one person with a dog, but the money and the white powder stayed in place. According to the rules, shouldn't they pay the money and deliver the goods? What does this all show? These years, the old methods cannot deal with the new situation, and nothing is reliable.
On the subject
first, kindness cannot be trusted. As long as the cowboy took the money and left, nothing happened. Just because of the fire and a lively person on the scene asked him to drink water, a move of compassion, he went back to deliver the water, he was caught and shot, almost bitten by a dog, and the car was left behind. on site. As a result, he was entangled in evil spirits, and the catastrophe was over.
Escape is unreliable. The so-called "Kill a person in ten steps, do not stay for a thousand miles, leave your clothes, hide yourself and your name", you think "Xia Ke Xing", these days there are trackers, GPS positioning and so on, you can't run even if you want to run, let alone Killers always act faster than the police. Although the cowboys have been in Vietnam, they are still outdated.
The police are even more unreliable. The police of any country are unreliable these days, and the United States is no exception. First, someone was strangled to death by a criminal in handcuffs, and then they couldn’t figure out how the door lock was ejected to the wall. They went to the scene to investigate and rode horses. The Mexicans could only be in a daze when they swept around with their submachine guns... Was it the age when Jiang Yang thief could be caught by throwing a lasso? In the end, the old sheriff still couldn't save the victims. He could only talk to an older guy who was older than him to find a mental balance, or talk to his wife that he had dreamed of his father. What else could he do?
In addition, employees are unreliable. In these days, you must consider the dignity of others when buying murder. Don't think that paying can solve everything. When someone rushes into the office and beats you into an inhuman form with a shotgun, he may not even know his boss's name!
Husband is also unreliable. There is only one reason why Cowboy's wife was killed by the killer in the end, that is, her husband is unwilling to exchange his own life with his wife's life in accordance with the terms of the killer. So I had to kill.
Traffic laws are even more unreliable. That killer was perfect for not being hit by a car. Why was he hit by a car? He didn't run the red light. There can be only one explanation: traffic laws are unreliable.
The last one is unreliable. The cowboy's wife said to the sheriff that her husband never asked anyone for help, and had always been self-reliant. But in the end, the cowboy drank a few bottles of beer that was treated by others and died. It can be seen that you can't rely on yourself.
About people
The principle of a killer is to kill, not for money, and there is no other reason or motivation. He may be a pervert, but he is absolutely principled, as can be seen from his hairstyle. He hates people who don't have a clear stand and attitude, and usually he will give them a bullet, such as his boss, those Mexicans and hapless people in sombrero. But sometimes they will be given a choice, which is to toss a coin. According to his logic, every coin has a reason. Just like himself, when someone meets a certain person and something happens at a certain time and place, they give meaning and decide. The fate of yourself and others. The killer didn't kill the grocery store owner. Although the owner was likely to be killed, he guessed the direction of the coin. The killer didn't kill him. This is a principle. The killer also didn't kill the fat woman, because the woman refused to disclose the information of the guest. This was a principled expression. The killer just glanced at her without doing anything. Similarly, this is also a principle. Finally, when the killer was hit by a car and his skin was ripped apart, he still refused the help of the child, insisted on buying a T-shirt with money, and left quietly. He survived.
In the same way, the police chief who sighed that the outdated policeman still tried his best, driven by principles, especially when the hotel knew that he might be killed by a spike, he still pushed in, so he also survived.
If the Mexicans are principled, then the fire will not happen. Everyone will have no trouble paying the money and delivering the goods. The cowboys will not get the money if they have the principle, or if they give the money to the police, he and His wife will not die...The world is changing and principles are falling apart, so these days, nothing is reliable.
