Border killer

From the perspective of the script alone, the reversal of the black cop story in the second half of the plot is both reasonable and unexpected. The fledgling Kate was placed high hopes at first and was only used as a puppet to witness the ecology of the drug syndicate along the US-Mexico border. The anti-narcotics captain Matt took advantage of the rivalry of drug cartels to embark on the road of revenge, and at the same time establish an official and controllable drug trafficking circle. The rhythm of the whole story is cold and cruel. The numerous shootings and deaths make the atmosphere look depressing and desperate. Many of this is expressed through Kate’s emotions and demeanor. At the same time, in order to reinforce this imprint, photography also uses many ultra-wide-angle lenses. To express a kind of desolation and helplessness, while shaking and moving the camera to reflect a kind of anxiety. The film's torture of American justice and the consideration of good and evil of human nature are merciless. In the "wolf pack" survival rule of the weak and the strong, it is not only the law that is missing.

1. The scenes, soundtracks, and editing have been created to be real, tense, and hit the hearts of the people with a sense of crises one after another; 2. The director is really good at being able to shoot police and criminal (drug) films with such personal characteristics; 3. Whether it is the opening scene The explosion, the transfer of the escort and the gun battle in the last half hour all show that this is an excellent film.

Just like the director’s previous work, a different entry point was selected in the script, which broke the conventional movie-watching experience. The idea is very good, but it does not mean that it can bring a better movie-watching experience. The roles of the protagonists are very different, and the theme of the final movie is also the most powerful and smartest Mexican family who seems to be a casual writer. The play is very clever and breaks through the conventions. Whether it can be cool is another matter. One thing. ★★★★
