Isn't this a sociopathic movie?

Not sure what label to choose. After reading it, I feel a little disappointed. Uncle Jackie Chan is as serious as ever, but this story really makes people feel that the three views are wrong. What does it say? Personal distrust and disrespect for public power, society has developed to this day, and a film and television work is still promoting personal revenge, which makes me think that the heroes of Liangshan have passed through, which is a trampling on the modern social system. In the film introduction, it is said that the British government did not act, and Uncle Jackie Chan launched his personal revenge. What this means, I can't see it in the movie, but what I can see is that even if the uncle doesn't go after the enemy, the British government can finally catch the terrorist. The society has developed to this day, why is it still advocating the use of violence to control violence? Uncle Cheng, who made earth bombs, isn't your behavior a terrorist activity? So, I'm wondering, is this movie really not promoting terrorism? Isn't it anti-social?

    The IRA is really beaten and kicked, hacked and sold; the Married family ensures that the action scenes are clean, beautiful, appropriate, and innovative; but Jackie himself is a pale, isolated character. Weird script.

    This is definitely one of the best and most recommended films in recent times. The story is fascinating, the characters are real and palpable, the narration is calm and moderate, and the style is cold and restrained. The fly in the ointment is also obvious. The two lines of Long Ge's action revenge and Nan Ge's political suspense are basically separate and integrated, and they have not been able to interact more closely, deeply and forcefully. , with the escalation of revenge actions to uncover the hidden political shady layer by layer.
