The memory of the emperor gradually faded away with "The Lord of the Rings", but there are always people who come out from time to time to think about the killer he played.

Now on this summer night, listening to the beer while drinking and admiring, what kind of poppy is Viggo Mortensen, who is forty-eight years old.

As a gangster movie, the movie starts out violently. In a small barber shop on a London street corner, a pair of uncles and nephews killed the Russian gangster man who came for a haircut after a few words. From then on, blood for blood and tooth for tooth began.

At the same time, on the lively Christmas day, a 14-year-old Russian girl died in a London hospital due to dystocia. The midwife felt that something was wrong and secretly investigated the girl's origin, but found that the truth was more complicated than expected. The girl is not only a smuggler, but also a young prostitute who is deeply involved in the sex trade, and is also related to the godfather of the Russian Sopranos who is on the run.

Although the film focuses on the bloody changes of the gangster family, unlike the epic classic "The Godfather", it depicts the life of the Russian gangster hidden in the city of London from multiple perspectives: in the eyes of a young woman who is an ordinary London midwife In the novel, the godfather is an uncle who often shows a kind smile and treats others with kindness, but in the eyes of a special agent who takes advantage of the godfather's son, the godfather is a ruthless and ruthless father who kills with a knife and is worried about his weak son.

The young and beautiful midwife is a passer-by who is involved in the storm, but only the calm and fierce agent is the culprit of the storm. It is a poppy flower that occupies all the attention of the audience and can't help but become addicted.

It is often said that men have forty-one flowers, but there are very few who can really exude charm and even have more years of precipitation. Viggo Mortensen's performance here is all the more seductive because of his restraint, after the flamboyant King of the Rings.

He is a quiet and quiet driver, sure but that's all he has to say. Wearing a long trench coat, narrow sunglasses, and a crisp shirt open casually, he handled the corpse leisurely and attentively, with his rolled up arms and bare chest showing faint tattoos, as if the violent exploits of the old days were hidden inside, one couldn't help but wonder about him. 's past.

He was hard to ignore and hard to suspect. The midwives believed in his justice, the godfather believed in his neatness, and the godfather and son believed in his heart. He just stood quietly, a face, a thousand layers of meaning, giving you thoughts and tempting your heart.

There is no shortage of bloody violence in gangster films. The weapons in this film are very simple, but they are razors, short knives and machetes, but it is even more frightening to face the cut throat. One of the highlights is his assassination in the bathroom.

A naked man sitting idle in a daze faced two killers who came with machetes prepared. The confrontation was dull in an empty environment. His lean muscles were full of tattoos. He was dodging and attacking, and he was also stabbed and bloodied. Spreading from waist to back, the tyranny is extremely beautiful.

Suddenly I began to understand that this violent and elegant man will not be forced to usurp the throne like the undercover agent in "New World".

    8/10. The rhythm, characters, and humor are all so elegant and calm. This film once again witnessed Cronenberg's unique skills in shaping the charm of the characters, his fascination with bloody scenes, and his mad love for evil things. The little stories of warm secrets, even without resorting to schizophrenia and surreal elements, still push the overall horror to fullness after adding extremely dark content such as rape of underage girls and human trafficking.
