This film tells the story of the male protagonist, Paul, who was originally an excellent emergency doctor, and has always pursued the working principle of saving the dying and helping the wounded. Until his wife was killed by a burglar and her daughter was almost in a vegetative state, and the police's delay in solving the case made the already very painful Paul began to doubt his own beliefs in life, and in the face of the increasing violence in society, Paul decided to use his own methods to achieve justice.
This film is a remake of the work of the same name in the 1970s, and moves the background of the story to the modern era on the basis of retaining the core of the story of the original work of "killing violence with violence". For this kind of story to be successful, the most important thing is to "pull enough hatred", the protagonist must have a happy family (such as Paul's virtuous wife and beautiful daughter in the film), and then good things are ruthlessly broken (wife is killed, The daughter was seriously injured), and then the male protagonist was completely desperate (the daughter was in a coma, and the police had been unable to solve the case), and when the audience's emotions were fully mobilized, it was the male protagonist's turn to fight back. The biggest highlight of the film is how the male protagonist who broke out launches a cold-blooded revenge against the murderer who persecuted his family. This point is familiar to Eli Ross, the director who has filmed the "Humanskin Inn" series. There are not many scenes of blood spilling in the whole film, but they are all used to make the audience feel good about their hatred.
Some old cloths, whose heroes are twilight, finally have a work that can be done after starring in a series of bad films. It may also be too deeply influenced by the previous works. I always feel that Bruce Willis in the film is still a bit cynical in the "Die Hard", which is a bit off track with the setting of the male protagonist and a good man. Fortunately, this film is not. Requires too deep acting skills. The film also has a background that the proliferation of guns poses a huge threat to American social security. Although the male protagonist of the film also uses guns to achieve justice in the end, it is not unrealistic to hope that vigilantes like Paul in the film will come. To maintain social order, it is better to ban the culprit that caused all this as soon as possible.
