I didn't have much hope for this movie, it was too old to serve Daohua, but the plot is indeed wonderful.

The game of the whole movie can be divided into two parts:

The first part is the game between the protagonist to rescue his son and the kidnapper. In the beginning, the robbers gave the rich two choices: whether the paying child could go back to the unknown, and tearing up the ticket without paying. In these two roads, the rich have no advantage. They are completely led by the nose. The son is eager to give money and whether the child can come back depends entirely on the kidnappers. As a result, during the process of paying the money, it was discovered that the kidnappers had never thought of returning the children. This time, a turning point occurred. The rich man's thinking changed, especially when one of the kidnapper team died, he still contacted the rich man to show the robber's obsession with the ransom. The ransom is the biggest weight for the rich and the key to reversing the situation. So the tycoons turned their backs on the guest and gave the kidnappers two choices: return the child and let it go, and the child would tear up the ticket and pay for the killing. And angered the other party during the phone call to the kidnapper, convinced the other party of these two options. If the kidnappers enter the two roads given by the rich, the best solution is definitely to let people go. But at this moment, we are at a high point in the game, and where the situation develops depends entirely on the wisdom and courage of both parties. Obviously, the tycoon succeeded, and the kidnapper team's mentality collapsed. If I am a kidnapper, I can cut something from the child and send it to the rich man to stimulate the other’s mentality, and then give two choices again: pay the child and ask you to stop offering a reward, tear the ticket and be chased by the reward, and explain The former is the best solution for both parties, so that the kidnappers can regain the dominance and get the ransom. As for whether the rich will keep their promises after obtaining the children, it is not important. The ransom can increase the chance of success.

The second part is the game between the kidnappers to regain the bounty and the rich. This game more fully reflects the courage and strategy of the rich. It was a wrong choice for the kidnapper to withdraw money. Of course, this was the second time he had made the wrong choice. After the rich man discovered the identity of the other party. At this time, you can give a normal check, and call the police immediately after the other party leaves. This is the best solution: people and wealth are all. However, he chose to give the wrong check, increasing his risk, and refused to send money directly. These two abandonment of the optimal solution can be explained as the rich want to kill the enemy. After the police arrived, the rich man's plan fell through. But the kidnappers were so stupid that they were killed by the rich after raising their guns.

The first game was the rich man risking his son's life, and the second time he risked his own life. I have to say that the brave are invincible.
