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.
