Let's briefly sort out the complete plot first.
In the past, the FBI sent an undercover agent to sneak into the gang. After a period of activities, the undercover agent entered the high-level gang. The FBI thought it was time to close the net but was rejected by the undercover agent. He also proposed a further in-depth undercover plan. So he killed the undercover and planted the gang to successfully close the net, and finally cleared the files of the undercover police.
What the FBI did not expect was that the undercover police officer was not killed. He secretly had plastic surgery, survived using the identity of the undercover gangster, and became the new gang leader. During this period, he gave birth to an illegitimate child. When the illegitimate child grew up, he became a small well-known entertainer who was involved in gang affairs. The father and son had cooperated several times, but no one outside knew the relationship between them.
Years later, the gang leader suffered from heart failure and planned to take out the illegitimate child’s organ transplant to extend his life. He spent a lot of money to hire killers and doctors. Many assassins were attracted by the high rewards, and even the second master of the gang had a bad idea, wanting to take the illegitimate children first, so that the gang leader could not be changed, and the second master could justify becoming the new leader after his death.
The illegitimate son was very frightened when he learned that he was offered a reward, and sent a lawyer to negotiate with the police, hoping to sell the secrets of the gang in exchange for the police's witness protection. At first, the police were misled, thinking that it was just a simple black and black incident. The police readily accepted the weaker party's surrender to seek protection. But then the police found an undercover file left over from that year and determined that the gang leader was the undercover policeman of the year. It was judged that he knew far more secrets than the illegitimate child. It is better to save the leader from his mouth and give up the illegitimate child.
In the end, the police made a huge sacrifice, and finally saved the life of the illegitimate child under the siege of the five-way killer, and planned to have the doctor perform a heart-exchange operation. At this time, the male lead police couldn't accept it. The high-level police concealed the fact and sacrificed. A large number of colleagues just completed an illegal organ transplantation to protect a gang leader with inferiority. This was not in line with his sense of justice. In the end he decided to abandon his identity as a police officer, unplug the operating table, and let the two gangsters die slowly. .
Let me first mention the excellent shooting scene.
One is the part where the black elder sister used heavy sniping to cover the little sister's retreat; the second is the part where the FBI agent and the killer elevator shot at the middle door, especially the picture of the gunshot fire after the light went out. Can fully feel the power of the movie, the most attractive part of the violent aesthetics.
Let's talk about the plot.
If you look carefully at the plot of the movie, at first it should have been an undercover infiltrating the gang and the FBI believed that it was a mutiny and murdered by the police, and the police betrayed the police; then the illegitimate son was willing to use the gang to secretly exchange witness protection in order to save his lives. It was the gang that betrayed the gang. The subordinates concealed the facts of the incident, and the subordinate police betrayed their sense of justice. The relationship is progressive.
The male protagonist decided to abandon his police title and kill two gang members as well. I was deeply moved at this stage. It is true that, as the senior officials said, rescuing the gang leader may get more information about the gang in order to further combat crime, but at the same time, it is equivalent to tacitly acquiescing that the organ transplant is legal, and the promise of protecting illegitimate children is gone. It is even more important to admit that this criminal's monstrous gang leader is worth the lives of dozens of police officers full of justice.
What should be the police's first action plan? Obey the superior, or justice? If justice and superiors' orders go to the left, where should the police go? The discussion of this sense of justice is very interesting, but unfortunately the movie just clicks to the end. The answer is simply and rudely given from the perspective of the male lead. There is still less in-depth discussion, and there is always a feeling of scratching.
At the end of the film, the male protagonist unplugs the power cord, slowly removes the gun parts, puts the badge embroidered with the police badge in the center, a tear is dripping from the corner of his eyes, and then lowers his head, as if thinking that life is justice. , In conjunction with the silent protests of doctors and police officers outside the operating room. After turning off the computer and closing my eyes, this picture still stays in my mind for a long time, lingering.
