The film was judged by some to be blunt and powerless, full of American values. But I don't think we can judge this film by simple values or morals. After all, the protagonist is such a reckless person, how could he be able to show his delicate thoughts? In the film, a female doctor volunteer once said to the male protagonist that he has the shadow of a rebel leader, but what Sam said at the end of the film is another point of view, "If your family and children are kidnapped by terrorists , I said I can save them back, do you still care what method I use?" There is no complete right and wrong in the world, just as there is necessary evil, when you face kidnapped children, you will How to do it? Sam gave his own answer, but that was only his answer, and he didn't ask everyone to agree with his answer.
I think a good movie is to describe a person's life trajectory and choices, as well as all the social and ethical contradictions behind it. Movies elucidate problems and make us think. Except for some purely commercial blockbusters that don’t need to be watched with a brain, the best way to watch a movie is to experience and think from the standpoint of the protagonist, and then think from your own standpoint, and then compare the two. In order to discover the true value of this film, it will also make oneself grow. If you can't do it, then it's better not to watch it, after all, this is not the kind of pastime that can be laughed off, but it's a waste of time.
