The plot of the film is not complicated and the time span is very short, but the rhythm is lively, the scenes are exciting, and what is more commendable is the portrayal of the protagonist's personality.
Dan and Ben, the two protagonists don't seem to be the same people at all: one is a dutiful rancher who manages his own one-third of an acre of land wholeheartedly, worrying about debts and weather; the other is a thief in Jiangyang, rebellious, Come and go like the wind, live on the tip of a knife. In fact, the two have similar life trajectories: forced to survive, they have no choice but to embark on this road, and they both show the character of heroes at extraordinary times, and they are both men who stand above the ground.
Dan, who has worked hard and sometimes even preoccupied with maintaining the livelihood of the whole family, is usually unremarkable, and even the family members look down on him a little: the eldest son is not satisfied, and the wife is not very satisfied. But it was such a man who became so tall on his way to the 3:10 train: brave, persistent, upright, and wise, even Ben was finally convinced by him, and even cooperated with him to send himself on the road The train to the courtroom (of course, I was sure that it would not be too late to escape halfway). At that moment, Dan sacrificed himself, but achieved his family's livelihood, his wish to be a true hero, the awakening of his good nature, and the life of the eldest son who witnessed all this with his own eyes.
Dan, the example of a man as a pillar!
Ben is not a bad guy. One of his lines is very telling: "If I'm not ruthless, then I can't even control these vicious guys for 5 minutes!" It can be seen that from the bottom of my heart, I don't think of myself and my subordinates as a kind of people. A little bit of contempt for them. So he was able to strike decisively and kill the kidnapped subordinate without any pity, so when the subordinates finally killed Dan, whom he admired very much and had conquered his personality, Ben angrily beat him to death. The gang came to rescue their "little ones". This is due to nature, at that moment, in his eyes, what he killed was just a group of villains.
Actually, as Dan's eldest son said, Ben isn't as bad as the others.
Finally, I have to mention the group of Ben's subordinates. Maybe they didn't understand that they ran thousands of miles, suffered countless hardships, and had little righteousness. How could they end up like this. They must be very aggrieved and worthless for themselves! It's only their fault that they followed the wrong leader. They saw the leader's power and loyalty, but they didn't see clearly that the leader wasn't the same person as them at all—everyone was just eating together, why? Do you really take the word "brother" seriously?
If this gang were led by Charlie, maybe they could be really bad, bad enough, bad for a long time!
