The law has always been a topic of debate, and it has always been, is, and will always have loopholes. There is a description in the movie that those who have committed heinous crimes go in in the morning and are released in the afternoon - the law cannot punish them.
Therefore, this film presents a solution. Two young men will play the hand of God to close the loopholes in the law. And, in this movie, it was very successful. They sanctioned the local evil forces, and the public executed the underworld bosses.
It's a cool movie, and it's ideal that even the police go to help these people who break the law. And the director also understands that such a point of view is bound to lead to controversy, lynching can fill the loophole, but - it will destroy the whole system. When the whole society is applauding and shouting for the heroes who walk for heaven, will anyone still believe in the law?
And the more serious consequence of this behavior is that when everyone in the society is vying to imitate the messenger of justice, who will define the boundaries of good and evil, who will determine who should be killed and who should not be killed? At that time, I think the whole society will be in a hail of bullets. At this time, it is not beyond the control of these three justice messengers.
The world you thought was heaven is actually hell.
This society needs heroes, but it also needs sound laws and meticulous enforcement. When no criminals can escape the law, the world does not need to execute people.
