The script is not good enough for acting

The two male actors put forth their strength and half-star rhythm, texture, and atmosphere. They are very good to watch. Some of the pictures are reminiscent of the classic movies of the golden age of Hollywood. Some pictures are reminiscent of the godfather. Unfortunately, the problem with the script is too big. The undercover reversal made me lose my head and the police went to the door to take blood, which made me unbelievable, including the far-fetched Madonna's heart overflowing at the beginning of the heroine, who has always loved and respected his father. If you love a man so much that you abandon your family and your father, you should also lay the groundwork for it. In short, the whole script has only a blunt reversal without the supporting plot and emotional details. The support of the characters cannot be regarded as an excellent movie, but the two actors are too good That bathroom fight can be described as a desperate performance. Viggo Mortensen likes to challenge very difficult roles and never sets himself up. He is a good actor of Chris Bell's type.
