On the bright side, the positioning of Uncle Long in this film is actually very embarrassing, because his existence has no effect on the development of the plot. The location and list of terrorists were found out by the police and gang leaders. Uncle Long did not appear at the terrorist base, and they were surrounded by the police and had no hope of surviving, so the ending of the role of Uncle Long was actually the same. The terrorist was killed and the plane explosion was stopped.
But if you study the plot more deeply, you will find that this is not the case. Brosnan and the police looking for terrorists who exploded are a bright line, while the confrontation between Brosnan and Uncle Long is a dark line.
The origin of the whole story should be that Brosnan wanted the government to pardon ten criminals who had been involved in terrorist acts, one of whom was Brosnan's cousin. There is no doubt that this rude request was rejected, although he is also the government's now. High level, but in the eyes of other government officials he is just an old paper tiger with no minions, they feel that their relationship with Brosnan is like a master and a servant They say what Brosnan should do, no mess idea. Brosnan is very clear about the government's thinking. What he wants to do is to let the government know that their relationship is not a master and a servant, but an equal cooperative relationship with each other. You help me, and I help you appease the terrorists. So a plan came to his mind, to let a few hairy guys make an explosion, let the government get rid of the turmoil, and then come forward to quell the turmoil by himself, at the cost of a few hairy guys to get what he deserves The power is very fair, and everything almost went according to his own ideas.
Almost, yes, almost, if he hadn't accidentally killed Uncle Long's daughter, a strong veteran, if his wife hadn't always held a grudge against him, if his subordinates hadn't betrayed him, everything would have been perfect. action. Because of the betrayal of his subordinates, he installed a terrorist lover beside him, and then accidentally was photographed by Uncle Long for evidence, and then his wife's betrayal made his action fail. However, the government of his allies was still quite forceful to make the plan that had already strayed from the runway to return to the right path after a slight delay, and then helped himself to wipe his butt, and agreed to his previous request. This action not only fulfilled his plan, but also helped himself to remove the hidden dangers around him. It was simply the perfection of perfection. When Brosnan was about to have a drink to celebrate, Uncle Long appeared and announced his relationship with his terrorist lover to the world. A perfect plan was extinguished. What he will face next will be the pressure of public opinion. It is not known whether the government will be able to complete the original plan as agreed.
The whole movie doesn't seem to have much to do with Uncle Long, but without Uncle Long, this movie is at most a political conspiracy. With Uncle Long's existence, it adds a touch of absurdity to the film, and it is destroyed by crooked attacks. Seemingly flawless plan.
