Let's talk about the unreasonable first. The reason Tyler was involved in the rescue was a little far-fetched. First Saju didn't have the money to pay the full amount, so his plan was to have the mercenaries rescue the children from Amir and then retake them from them himself. But his operations must also be carried out in Dhaka. It's illogical, because if he goes to the rescue alone, he only needs to face Amir's personal armament. Now he has to face the mercenaries he hired, Amir's personal armed forces, and the Bangladeshi military that has expanded into the situation. This is to automatically adjust the hard mode to hell mode. In addition, the Bangladeshi military, although the colonel colluded with the drug lord, would he really tell all the soldiers the truth? Shouldn't the soldiers think that a foreign force took the hostages and they went to rescue them? But from their attitude towards children, it is to arrest rather than rescue.
Then say good settings. Tyler was very worried about his son's death, so he took the case, so even if he had no money to continue, so he spared the child soldiers who attacked him, the motivation was consistent, came because of it, "died" because of it . It makes sense to use it to explain all motives. Another good setting is to have a second male who copied and pasted with Tyler. The underlying logic of Saju's and Tyler's motives is the same, the protection of what they care about most in their hearts. It was this that made Tyler think of the man who killed his team when he needed help. And when Saju got a headshot, I don't think the audience felt less sorry than Tyler.
Another worth mentioning is Farhad. The boy dared to speak up on the rooftop, and when he got off the rooftop, he rushed to open the door for Amir. He took the initiative to chase and kill Tyler. This character is similar to Dong Tianbao's character in "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", and he is the villain who is properly developed. What's even scarier is that he is still a child. Reminiscent of the French film "Les Miserables" released at the same time. People who kill like numb may not have deep feelings in their hearts, but they are obviously just children, but they are hidden demons. Perhaps this is the more frightening thing than the bloodshed.
As irrational as the cause, there is the end. If Nik kills Amir, if it's so easy, it's all in vain. Perhaps the biggest function of this scene is to let Farahani dress up.
Trivia:
1. According to director am Hargrave, the nationwide gun ban in India is very strict, so filming can only be done with rubber prop guns without any moving parts. In the shooting of the first rescue, the guns used were all purpose-built and did not even fire any blanks. All shots had to be digitally animated in post to give the impression that they were shooting.
2. According to director Sam Hargrave, the long shot of 11 minutes and 29 seconds was made up of 36 different shots stitched together. The most numerous of these shots were taken as many as 25 times.
3. This film is Sam Hargrave's directorial debut. He was Chris Evans' stunt double for Captain America and later became Marvel's action director.
4. Most of the scenes in Dhaka and India were filmed in Thailand.
5. When the movie was filmed in Ahmedabad, India, many fans stayed on set for more than 15 hours just to catch a glimpse of Chris Hemsworth.
6. Writer Joe Russo and director Sam Hargrave both mentioned open endings in interviews. The life and death of Tyler Rake is inconclusive, so a sequel is a possibility.
