Good technology, better mentality

Countless American crime movies tell us that this bowl of rice is not delicious. If you want to live a long life and your family will leave early, if you just want money, you have to have a good skill. You have to be proficient in driving and shooting girls. Ming spent the money comfortably. It's not enough if the technology is good, but the mentality is better-enough!

Characters like the protagonist Chris in the movie are absolutely rare-smuggling masters, known for his incredible wisdom, famous for making money, but when such characters get married, they immediately wash their hands and start a small company. Wife and children's small days on the hot kang, even though they will remember the long and thick years of the past when they drink a little wine, but they have to face real life when they wake up with a touch of face. It’s not easy for ordinary people to do this, and it’s even harder to do it after committing a crime. It’s just as difficult for a top-ranking figure in the criminal world to do it. But Chris did it. He knows he likes and is good at it. For smuggling, he still refuses the temptation, because there is no room for mistakes in this industry. The so-called tigers must be met in the mountains. There are so many tigers in this industry and they are especially fierce. Wu Song is even more unlucky. Once you get in, there is nothing to think about in this world.
Although Chris was forced to make the last vote later, it was not for himself. Fortunately, he was quite young and lucky, and finally retired all over again. At this point, Chris finally became a legend.

Chris’ good brother Sebastian is not good. On the one hand, he is not as skilled as Chris, on the other hand, he has bad luck in life. Chris’ wife Kate is his dream lover, but the biggest difference between him and Chris is that he is not satisfied. . He has his own house, his own car, and his own legitimate small business. Besides, he is already a veteran. He knows the depth of the underground world very well. Such a good guy like his brother is afraid to avoid it. Why does he go there? Go ahead? I think Sebastian's reason for this step is very complicated. First of all, he is jealous of his small hair, crime is stronger than him, and his wife does not. He wants to prove himself by having a better material life, and he hopes to use something to seduce Kate. Then, it was his desire. He had quit drinking, and obviously he hadn't quit the drug addiction. Drug smuggling is just a matter of both public and private.
So it was a tragedy. The murder caused by a sentence, and Kate is not dead yet, I really don't know if it is Sebastian's decay or the halo of the protagonist Chris. Smuggling and instigating murder and destroying the corpse, he estimated that he would have to sit through the prison, but there is Chris and his father in the prison, alas...

This movie is different from other crime movies, I think it is-aside from the luck of the protagonist's halo, the characters, The plot and picture are very convincing.
The underground world in the real world is like this. The underground world has its own operating rules, and everyone has to abide by it. Although it is much harsher than the earth world, the rules are the rules.
The characters are also persuasive ordinary people, there is no madman who is not stingy with "Say hello to my little friend", there is no Xiaoqiang who is brave and invincible to fight and die without fear of death, and there is no Zhuge Kongming who is countless and has no moral perfection. , In the movie, everyone wants to make quick money within the risk. There are always accidents. Everyone takes a step to watch and is manipulated by fate. Chris just found a way out of these complexities. Not easy.
The footage of the movie gave me a sense of alienation. When shooting in hand, the lens was suddenly far and near, fast and slow, but it was not because of the dizzying and violent shaking. The picture is a bit cold, but not dark. There are no close-ups, no special effects, no slow motion, and there are no big shots and special shots in the gunfights and car chases.
In short, it is more alternative and worth seeing.
