It’s really difficult to find shortcomings in Ben Affleck’s self-directed and self-acted works. However, if the advantages of the film are carefully tasted, it seems so familiar, and it keeps reminding me of the kind of brothers in the Hong Kong police and criminal films of the glorious period. Brotherly complex. The old-fashioned stories and plots are not surprising. Every move and every style is followed by the rules. The intervention and turning of the love line are also slightly narcissistic, but the scheduling of every theft and hijacking scene can smell the director’s extreme. Dedicated to the word, it is not too much to describe it as dripping water.
It can be seen that Ben Affleck is determined to get rid of the bad luck of the male vase after experiencing the low tide of the bad film, and turned gorgeously to join the ambition of the director. This time it was completed satisfactorily. Wearing a nun's costume for the robbery section should bear the greatest credit. The evil taste is not overwhelming, but unexpectedly evokes a heavy and fatalistic complex sentiment. The romanticization of the ending further confirmed the literary mentality of this Oscar best screenwriter.
