This film could have been better

The rating of this film is too low, it should be around 7.6. It is true that the transformation of the protagonist is a major flaw. If the parts of car chases and gunfights can be reduced in the film (I fast-forward these sections) and used to shape the psychological struggle of the protagonist, the characters will be fuller.

The protagonist is not immune to this transformation. Imagine that a selfish father can see another who chooses to give up his life for his daughter to stand up again. This kind of shock is not enough to change a person, so tell me what can be done.

Of course, limited to three reasons, this film can only be reduced to a third-rate commercial film: First, Ryan Reynolds' acting skills must still be tempered; Second, Hollywood commercial films are destined to be impossible to focus too much on characterization; Third, pure the screenplay of the film, rather than being adapted from a more literary novel, where the ceiling is placed

    Damian: Don't be. What you and Judith went through, losing a child, that's a tragedy. An old man dying... I'm supposed to say, "That's life."
