If I were to watch this film alone, the title would probably dissuade me directly. I thought it would be a big scene of a tough guy in the yellow sand, but it started with a soft and white young man who massaged people on the beach (fog). How could I ignore that this is another film made by the director of "The Hangover" Comedy movies.

At the beginning of the story, "How much do you know about war? Some people say it's about patriotism and democracy. In fact, war is economy!" When the subtitles appeared on the scene, I thought it was composed of criminal arms deals and ugly political conspiracies. The values ​​needed for the large-scale war film. The thought of "cliche" flashed past my heart. Now, at this moment, when writing these, I suddenly think that it is the main thread of the conflict between love and money that runs through the film.

A girlfriend who is extremely averse to war may represent love. The Spanish actor's name Amaz means "weapon", and the crazy profits from arms trading are the essence of war. This is just an ordinary young man between love and money. swing. I don't treat it as a comedy, its warmth is not funny.

Marx said: "If there is a profit of 300%, capitalists will dare to trample on everything in the world." So, in the face of such a big temptation of money, will he still remember what he started for?

The protagonist wanders back and forth between good and evil, and the amount of the transaction is getting bigger and bigger and more dangerous. In the beginning, the death call of his girlfriend that always appeared at critical moments was really a bit disgusting, and even a little angry. The director actually made the protagonist seriously deal with the irrelevant calls when the terrorist's vehicle was already within sight.

That’s why it’s such a kind person who easily believes that classmates who talk to people and talk nonsense to others, go alone to the dangerous country with the most weapons in the world; face terrorists who think they’ve been singled out and are angry; The text of the law remains within reach of everyone.

In the process, he kept saying "This sounds like illegal."

Smuggling weapons, violating the arms embargo regulations... I don't know the nature of this in American law. In such a strict Chinese dynasty, this is already a crime, brother.

But at the end of the film, he asked the super arms dealer who reappeared, "My driver in Albania, do you know what happened to him?"

Because of the driver’s disappearance, no one was born or a corpse was seen, he remembered it for so long.

At this time, the expression he was looking for seriously might make the real number one arms dealer feel mad. Such an expression has never appeared on the face of the fat partner.

The recurring small people and small incidents seem a bit abrupt and warm in the face of hundreds of millions of dollars in arms deals. It was the kindness in this young man's heart that kept reminding him that war was for economic purposes, and he was for love.

In the end, the arms dealers inevitably broke with ordinary people, and the seeds were planted from the beginning of the film.

His trust in this partner seemed to stem from his admiration for his skillful tongue. The break also exploded at the point of "Stop your performance!"

Among the three people involved in this large arms trade, the other two are arms dealers and businessmen; he is just an ordinary person who wants to create a better life for his family.

He won it himself for a better life for his family. The crazy process, the huge amount of money, did not change him.

It's a sinful and heavy subject. It doesn't make people feel unhappy or desperate. It's really great. I give it a full score of 5.
