Justice won't show itself

The first thing that comes to mind after watching the film is a classic line from Maddie "Justice won't show itself"

The plot of the movie is fairly simple and old-fashioned. Doctor Kersey, played by Bruce, has always been a good citizen, but unfortunately, his fate has been ill-fated. Suddenly one day he was robbed, his wife and children were killed, but the gangster was still at large due to the incompetent police, and he was powerless to do anything. By chance, as a doctor, he picked up a pistol after surgery. That night, when a stranger was robbed by chance, Lu Jianbu drew a knife to help him. After the first taste of the sweetness, he decided to eliminate the violence An Liang, incarnate "The Grim Reaper", a Vigilante, a so-called "lyncher", to do what the police should do. After multiple investigations, he finally let the murderer who framed his wife and children pay for his life and protected the person he loves

The last part of the movie is very interesting, there is a sentence "And Dr. Kersey, stick to saving lives" which is very meaningful. Then a colleague of the detective asked him if he was satisfied, and the detective thought about it and took a pizza and said it was satisfied. In fact, everyone knows it well, the reason why I don't say personal guess is that it is difficult to speak in front of children, but as a police detective who is supposed to enforce the law, but instead of helping a civilian, it is quite ironic. .

First of all, I will not comment on the issue of firearm advertising in the movie. The Chinese title "Raptor Monster" is really confusing, and there is no such thing as a monster. The old version of Death Wish and the theme of this version are basically saying that you can't rely on the legal system (police, government departments) but rely on yourself to protect your family. Similarly, there are also many films with strong will of the protagonist, such as "Injustice" and "Fast Pursuit". If you think about it, the doctors in the movies are criminals and Batman is a superhero. Sighing that if you have equipment to be handsome, you can really do whatever you want

But for Dr. Kersey played by Bruce, I really have to complain, B. Willis's image and temperament are like a doctor? like a doctor? like a doctor? Think of the tough guys of "Die Hard" and "RED" back then. I really have to sigh, the years have turned the butcher's knife purple and the grapes soft and bananas (funny face)

So many Hollywood bald tough guys like Bruce because of his calm temperament and the melancholy and vicissitudes in his eyes
