This is a bloody world. Without your tolerance, people who can't stand up are always trampled underfoot.
Is the protagonist of the story really the heroine? No, in the end, this is an ancient poem of revenge, and the story of the heroine is an introduction. This is a story of mutual exploitation. The hero uses the US government to help him find his enemies; the US government represented by Joe Brolin uses the ability of the hero to find criminals and remove remnants; the ultimate goal of the US government is to unify the entire drug trafficking The Internet helps drug dealers to kill another group of drug dealers. When there is only one drug dealer, there is no such thing as a gang massacre.
The term illegal here is really just a term, and things like beheading are also commonplace. The cruel reality set the tone at the beginning. Too many details express the cruelty of the whole reality: the corpse of the drug dealer buried in the wall, the corpse that was hung up high, the drug dealer in the car used as a target. The director put too many shots in front of us and set the tone of the whole story.
Looking at the entire story, we will know what the daily story looks like at the border between the United States and Mexico: drug trafficking, drug trafficking in underground tunnels, drug sweeping, illegal immigration, bribery by the police, assassinations, various assassinations. And everyone has regarded this abnormality as normal, just like the death of a drug transport policeman, the wife is accustomed to it, the bank receives 9,000 cash every day, and the headless person hanging on the street is also accustomed. The most frightening thing is the fact that once this environment is formed, it cannot be changed. Everything is driven by profit, and drugs are the main driver of profit here.
I think the director mainly talks about a cruel environment in the whole movie. From the beginning with so many dead bodies.
The biggest feature of the whole movie is that it is full of tension. From the beginning of the transportation of prisoners, the positions of multiple shots are habitually placed at the height of the human eye, just like we are nervous looking outside through the car window. And the rapid story of heavy bass is used in the background music, creating an empathetic environment. The same is true when sweeping underground passages.
In the background story of the male protagonist, there is actually not too much space, especially when he meets his former friends, even when his wife and daughter are so miserable, he can still be quiet. This is really cruel. . ---Because he still has a mission, he cannot easily collapse.
I prefer the director's simple and efficient way to deal with the gun battle. After a lot of preparation, the problem was solved with a few shots at once. It looks so real.
The strange thing is that the heroine's random entry. From the beginning, the heroine was just a criminal policeman. It has nothing to do with border affairs or drug trafficking, even if his case is tied to drug trafficking. But under this circumstance, the government agent played by Jo's Brolin had no reason to let her unrelated person join in.
The only explanation is that the role of the heroine represents a normal worldview, a kind of viewer identity, just like us. Her appearance is to experience during the whole process, and then to express our ordinary people's dissatisfaction, to be taught by those people. The ultimate goal is actually to show the overall story through their treatment of the heroine.
It's just that the heroine's integration is really far-fetched. . .
