When I saw Mel Gibson in this film for the first time, I wanted to give up, because he was old and seemed to no longer have the brave heart and the tough guy image in the patriots.

But when I saw a series of performances of him holding her daughter and muttering prayers when she was shot, I was drawn again.

The back of him sitting alone in the house at the crime scene was just a back, but gave birth to endless despair and sadness. His empty eyes, he carefully saved the towel with his daughter's blood when wiping his face, he was busy answering her daughter's phone calls, and he always had the hallucination of her daughter talking to him.

When he went to claim his daughter's body, there was not a single tear in the eyes of the father, but it was the kind of sadness that hurts to the extreme after losing the only hope in life. Sitting in the sunny garden with his daughter's hair in his hand, he promised not to cry to his hallucinated daughter, and when he couldn't help crying, he stood up and left immediately.

I think it turns out that Mel Gibson has transformed from a tough guy to a father who loves his daughter. But it's also pretty good-looking, as expected of Mel Gibson, such a simple plot, but so attractive.

Until someone hit a car and injured a person who knew the cause of her daughter's death, and then turned the car and drove towards them for a second time, I thought he would definitely dodge to the side, but he just took out a gun and pointed at the driver. The gun shot through, unwavering, until it killed him, and quickly broke the tires and drove the car away. This series of actions makes people watch heartily, I suddenly found that he is not old, nor transforming, he is still the tough guy Gibson!

The scenes of those bad guys being beaten to death are very, very resentful. Although I hate blood, but, here, I see very resentment and resentment!

The ending of the film is expected. He has no love in this world. Although it is a bit illusory, it is our inner hope.

In this movie, my throat was choked up, and Mel Gibson played it very, very well. He didn't use shouting, crying, or making a fuss, but just using his eyes, a back, and trembling hands, which made people deeply feel the grief that life is not as good as death, and deduced a man who loved his daughter deeply. Father, a sad and angry father after losing his beloved daughter, let people be amazed!

This film, in fact, the plot is very simple and weak, the only wonderful thing is Gibson's performance, and it all depends on his performance.
