I never write film reviews, but after reading some Chinese and English film reviews, I found that many people didn't understand the ending too much, and they gave the movie low scores because of the plot, so I will explain briefly. Watch out for spoilers ahead.
After Alejandro learned that he was abandoned by Gov in the middle and late stages of the film, it was clear that the ending of himself and the little girl was silenced. Although from the audience's point of view, Matt left the little girl in the end, but that was decided after the death of his friend who cherished him. If Alejandro is successfully smuggled and received by Matt, in order to protect all other players involved in the operation, Matt is likely to kill Alejandro too. Alejandro knew this very well himself. It is not difficult for him to protect the little girl from smuggling back to the United States, and how to solve this contradiction and not be silenced by Gov is the main problem he faces.
Alejandro's choice was to deliberately be found by the smuggled snakehead and suspended it once, so that Gov could see this scene through the satellite, so that he would not be chased after him and Matt would no longer be embarrassed by this problem. The key to realizing his plan is that the younger brother Miguel who shot him was actually recruited to his subordinates a long time ago.
The evidence was first when speaking to the lines, Alejandro told the little girl a version, but he deliberately told another version and was deliberately discovered. Before the smuggling, he deliberately turned on the locator, indicating that he had no plan to successfully smuggle, but was deliberately discovered by a snakehead and "shot" himself. Matt witnessed all this through the satellite, and completely handed the little girl's fate to Matt's hands. . Almost all the audience didn't realize that Miguel and Alejandro had known each other a long time ago. Please take a closer look at the look between the two of Miguel when they were almost hit by Matt's car at 45 o'clock. It was a coincidence that the director and screenwriter deliberately misled the audience and made everyone think that this was the reason why Miguel knew and exposed Alejandro.
This is a plan of a true man with iron and blood. It kills three birds with one stone. If it succeeds, Alejandro and Gov will part ways from now on. This should be reflected in the third part, and we will wait and see.
The reason why many viewers felt that the plot collapsed a bit in the second half of the movie was because this key point was not understood. It was only after I saw the last scene of the movie that I suddenly realized that several big questions that I had been wondering before also suddenly became clear. In fact, before seeing the end of the film, I was still not satisfied with the so-called flaws in the script. Originally, the role of Alejandro was quite fascinating. After watching the film, he was completely conquered by the role, and he was also fascinated by the director and screenwriter.
Overall, this film is much better than 1. Aside from the photography, soundtrack, rhythm and other aspects that everyone likes to talk about, just looking at the shaping of the characters, the development of the plot contradictions, the role motivation, etc. are very successful, and I have to play 5 points. The only downside may be that most people don't understand it. XD
PS Speaking of not understanding, I had to mention foreign friends. After reading some discussions, I found that they did not understand either. It took me a lot of time to write this film review. If there are friends who also like this movie are willing to translate and transfer it to the Internet, so that overseas audiences can really understand the plot, both Chinese and foreign are blooming, my director and screenwriter on behalf of the director and screenwriter would like to thank you.
