Background of the story During the Great Depression in the United States, this time the story did not tell the story from the perspective of "rogues", but unfolded slowly from a perspective representing justice.

The fact is that in any period and any era, "heroes" are needed. Under the background of that time, everyone needed a spiritual support, the trick of fate, the following of the public, the hype of the media, and the pressure of the government, the desperate pair came into being. The mandarin ducks are even more legendary.

Criminals commit murders again and again, and perhaps only killing can calm his inner anger, and those who are killed represent the law, wealth, and the "rules" of the world. He doesn't want to give in. Time and time again, unfairly, his "Chicago Typewriter" series spewed wild rage.

A pair of old guys who were buried half of the soil on their bodies once again embarked on the process of chasing the suspects. The two old law enforcement officers, one of them was enjoying a long life, and the other was extremely financially distressed. In a panoramic view, the house has been It's from the bank, and this shot may be even more ironic.

I don't know how long I haven't picked up the gun, and several bottles were thrown on the ground in a row. The old man couldn't hang his face. He forced himself to lower the difficulty and omitted the action of pulling the gun from his waist. That's it, no matter how badly these shots look... well, the other guy who looks "85 years old" is shocked by more advanced and more powerful firearms, "It's not that I don't understand, it's that The world is changing fast." Well, how do you track down that gang of criminals is the problem, and there's no law enforcement powers out of state lines? If everything can be done according to the rules, nothing bad will happen. The old man is very bad. You see how they go to find those clues, and see how their investigation of the scene makes the FBI boss lose face, all the way. Going down, wherever they go, they all show dilapidated, desolate, depression, people seem to see no hope, when they show up in those places with brand-new Ford cars, everything seems so out of place, compared to now , the detection technology of the year was still very backward, there was no big data, no video surveillance, etc... The process of fighting wits and courage was still unable to match a normal logic. The father of a member of the robber's gang was repairing a car by the roadside, naturally Does the parking need help? At this time, a group of policemen jumped out of the roadside, shot and called it off. Why is this routine so similar to the means used in the rivers and lakes, isn't it also the same routine for parking and robbery? It's just that the ambush was replaced by an uncle of the police. It's just that this time the bandits who should have been killed were killed. It's just that the old guys successfully completed the task this time. It just doesn't look like a righteous victory...

When the ambush plan was going to be implemented, the old guy put on a clean suit. This was like a ceremony, solemn and sacred, like a knight on an appointment? Thinking a lot, there were no exciting fights, no swords and lights, because either you died or I died, and the pouring firepower madly hit the Ford with the surging power of the V8 engine that the pair of desperate couples had praised, but this time he didn't. Escape, this time they will all be remembered.

The whole film, from the tone, to the narrative, including those two old cowboys who can't get any older, smells old, but it's more moving than a popcorn movie, more than a superhero genre.

The rivers and lakes are still the same rivers and lakes, but the storytellers keep changing, but the stories keep circulating...
