The American movie is rather deep. As an ordinary bartender, the male protagonist is involved in a robbery plan because the underworld has chosen a bar as a storage place for gambling funds. In fact, all robberies in the movie are secondary plots. The male protagonist first appeared in the image of a good person, peaceful and kind, to commemorate the little friend who died many years ago. Little dog, take money to save the threatened female protagonist... But at the same time, the film inadvertently reveals that the male protagonist is not a good person, handling the corpse skillfully, and the police detective’s inquiries... The plot does not have a gun battle, even flesh and blood. Hengfei owes it to him. In the end, the male protagonist just killed the robbed man. He was appreciated by the underworld and became a bar owner. He was also with the female protagonist. The detective finally said, I know that man was not the murderer of the year. You didn’t. An alibi, isn’t it...

[first lines]
Bob: [narrating] There are places in my neighborhood no one ever thinks about. You see them every day and every day you forget about them. These are the places where all the things happen that people are *not* allowed to see. You see, in Brooklyn, money changes hands all night long. It's just not the kind you can deposit in a bank. All that money needs to end up somewhere. They call it a drop bar. A bar the bosses choose randomly each night to be the safe for an entire city. You never know up front when *your* bar becomes the drop bar. You just take all the city's dirtiest money and bag men come and go from all over town and nobody ever sees it coming. Nobody ever sees it going. And then they could tell you to be the drop bar next week. Or maybe even next year.
Bob: The point is, you never know. In the meantime, me, I just tend bar. And wait.
