"Mystery": a small film in the name of a big name

Since Bruce Willis was on the cover, I took it without hesitation. It turned out to be fooled again, like watching Jason Statham's "The Lightning" and feeling cheated, or even worse. In any case, Jason Statham still runs through the whole film, and Willis only shows a small face after more than 20 minutes of the film and disappears, and the plot of showing his face together is less than 20 minutes. The rest is a hugely ugly plot of a black buddy who looks like the protagonist running around.

In fact, the film is about the revenge plan after the betrayal. It was originally three buddies who had been very close to each other since childhood. They planned to rob diamonds together. The other two then sped away. Fortunately, this black buddy was not killed because of the cross hanging on his chest, so he began to pursue revenge all the way. It's such a simple plot, and it also tells a big truth.

Starting from the cross, several episodes repeatedly emphasize the meaning of religious belief. Willis and the black buddy had a serious discussion in the car, asking Willis whether he believed in God and whether he answered, but then he said that he believed in another god, and he prayed every day or something. At this time, the black buddies and their ilk should know for themselves that such cruel and cold-blooded bosses are all religious, so what reason do you have for not believing. Believe in some education, find a serious job, make less troubles, and make the world more harmonious. While supporting the newcomers, the old also imparted social experience.
