Call it a spoiler

I don't think the plot is special, but I can't say it's bad either. To be fair, it does not lose its standard, but at best it is a bit obscure. Tidy up some small details. Still a suspenseful movie. Read and read.

Movie name: The double double agent and two agents?

The plot progresses by threading the thread:
it opens with an unidentified group of people being brought into the United States from Mexico. They killed fellow innocents and cross-dressed. Why? who are they?
Richard came out, and a single man without a child liked to watch his child play softball, and turned around and, oh, he was still a retired detective. Why? He needs to make a comeback for a killer named Cassius. Why? Who is the old man?

The old man took Richard to the CIA. The old man was actually the chief. Richard firmly reiterated that Cassius was dead. He actually knew the family background and educational background of this classmate from the first meeting. Why? Richard defiantly said that the senator was not killed by Cassius. Ben got it wrong. Why? It seems that this is a naked and explicit audience, who is the boss. The old man never argued with Richard about Cassius' status. Why? The old man just teased a sentence to prove what you said. Otherwise, I won't have a job because of you, and you won't have a normal life. Knowing that a former subordinate was imprisoned and was concealed by the old man, Richard's reaction was not that big. Why? It seems that you have never left a living hole, and you are not worried about a living hole?

Shaking the baggage and burying the thread went hand in hand, and they were launched one by one as Richard reappeared: In
the car, Richard asked Ben, why did you write a paper on Cassius and join the FBI instead of the CIA? Ben's answer is even convinced that he retired and hid in the United States. God, did you think you were a primary school student who chose religion? A talented graduate of Harvard, his life is only to catch Cassius, why? What happened to your family that made a diplomat's son study international terror crimes?

In prison, the former subordinates were unfamiliar with Richard's voice. It appears that the training is neither face-to-face nor voice contact. What he said was true, that Cassius was great, but fouled. So Richard interrupted, eager to kill. It was later resolved just to personally confirm that he was Cassius and bring up two issues. What happened in Geneva to get Richard fouled? What does it have to do with the Black Caucasus? Richard was going to get the book done, but gave up because of his wife. Actually heavy affection? Richard doesn't seem to be the villain.

Ben's dinner, Richard hinted at a question that Ben ignored, what made Cassius's later activities irregular? It also implies that the seven-member group has no accurate information, that is, Cassius' mutiny. Ben's wife and children are normal. Highlighting that Ben's pursuit of Cassius is suspicious. Because sane families have more corporate employees, freelancers, government employees, teachers, and cultural economics and arts. It's okay to engage in professional anti-terrorism.

The opening stowaways finally appeared, with a celebrity. . . Richard decided to put Cassius on him. Well, it's a way. The old man did not object.

Investigating the case, Richard began to pervert Cassius and was trying on his body, and Ben began to twist. You should still be a police officer. On one side, Ben began to doubt Richard, dragging colleagues to study the case. Getting a point in time and Richard is Cassius' conclusion. But what about motivation? Ben comforted his wife, hesitating.

Richard never gave up monitoring Ben. He picked up the newspaper that had been in the trash can. Hmm, Scrabble? Richard continued to tip Ben that night. A family portrait. He had a family. Well, he needs someone to understand?

In the bright ending, I lived up to my expectations and knew that Cassius was actually taking revenge. Richard also knew who the murderer was. Really not wronged to take the blame for the man. Interestingly, he seems to be a double. The revenge begins, and Ben helps Richard, as expected, ha, he is also a double, as expected. Richard kills the man and saves Ben. Ben returned to his home with the Mi flag, so he probably didn't plan to go to the airport.

The unspoken line: Richard was a superb hitman trainer. He is familiar with various routines of undercover, infiltration, disguise, murder, and self-rescue. Cassius is a title given by the industry, so it can be falsely identified. It is quite possible that he himself is free or two-faced, and thus has a family. After his wife and children died, Richard decided to take revenge. He betrayed the organization and turned to the United States in exchange for intelligence. It is estimated that while looking for the murderer alone, he will destroy his own trainee by himself as the price and account for taking refuge. The disappearance of the man and the disintegration of the Soviet Union made Richard feel that he could fully retire and be worthy of the agreement with the old man. The old man probably had a tacit understanding and ignored him back then, and he made great efforts to get promoted, but he kept his hand. It is estimated that Richard has been monitored since his retirement. Based on general national security regulations, this is normal. He didn't start a family anymore, probably because he knew his identity was sensitive. When I was a teenager, I sneaked into the United States, and it was a secret game, so my identity and behavior did not match, and I still had a family. Guess it was launched a year ago. He didn't know the man or the old man of Cassius, alas, not even his tools. All he knew was that Ka didn't die in America. His wife and child made him resentful, so why not kill the man by mistake, regardless of whether he is Cassius or not, returning to Russia after the end of the mission can save the family. Discovering that Richard was Cassius fueled his determination to follow suit. He really admires Cassius. In fact, the exposure of his identity was the main reason why Richard finally gave up killing him, gave him hints and protected him. Sympathy. In fact, Ben has successfully completed the tasks on both sides, and he can stay on the pretext of joining the CIA and obtaining intelligence. As for whether the Secretary knows, does it matter? Who wouldn't pay for the safety of their little family?

Mistakes: Who would be so fed up that they would kill their best family instead of using it as a lever? The man was sent to divide the United States, right? Within a year, this classmate completed the dissertation at Harvard, got rid of the senator's blame card, joined the FBI, and gave birth to a young son. God, you didn't dig out your Russian upline and kill it by the way?
