The protagonists who took off the halo

The protagonist's halo is what I love to complain about when watching film and television works. The protagonist's halo ensures that the protagonist can always escape smoothly when he is in danger. Even if the process is tortuous, the result is always the same. So, I started the movie with the same premise and waited for the protagonist to fight back, but to my surprise, no one survived in this game.

Finally, the aura of the protagonist dissipated, but I didn't feel happy in my heart. The reason, in addition to my love for the actor who played the husband and wife, was one more thing: the desperate situation of the victim makes you feel cold. Contrary to all routines, the shotgun you got has no bullets, you are still caught after you escape, and the phone is out of power when you call the police. Those scenes that usually make you feel cliche are very precious at this moment. Those two bastards, or the siren sounded on time before the knife fell, but no, their family of three had nothing, they were not extremely smart, nor were they physically amazing, they were a family of three ordinary weak chickens and rich people. Not prepared for this, in front of the nervous gangsters, there is no other way but helpless crying, everyone cried with sincerity, and it was freezing cold. They made me see myself in this situation; they made me lose my obsession with the villain's charisma; they made me miss the protagonist's halo.
