The film has something in common with Scorsese's "Cape Terror". It seems to want to combine the violence of father and son, but the effect is not good. In the end, the son's routine of saving his father's life at a critical moment is adopted.
Some passages in the film have obvious symbolic meanings, such as the scene where the protagonist kneels at the lake at the end, which has a taste of redemption and reflection. The overall violent effect is relatively calm. This feeling is quite in line with the scene of the town. The atmosphere that the creator deliberately wanted to create.
