Reality and moral needs

Fortunately, I haven’t seen any remarks about the plot before watching such a film. I always thought Denzel was really just a cool policeman, a character who is both good and evil, until I watched such a film. He shot the old handsome guy and I found out that Uncle Dan is really a villain here.
Watching this film after watching Keanu's King of the Streets, I suddenly felt that the distance between reality and moral needs was really scary. Having watched a lot of Hollywood genres, I am accustomed to seeing Denzel Washington in the first half of the film as an incarnation of justice according to the needs of the society, but the reality is that the righteous figure who morally needs is in a more realistic plot. Among them, it is synonymous with darkness and evil. This is a film that shatters the justice I need in my heart, a social tragedy.
Of course, after all, it is a commercial blockbuster, after all, it did not break away from the set of good and good for evil and evil. In the end, Daniel Washington was still killed by random guns... and he died very well. It was matched with the previous shots of Xiaobaiface being abused. The audience was also very happy. But think about it, if this film is really what happened in reality, the most unlikely thing in the whole incident is that the little white face just saved the sister of the Colombian brother! Xiao Bai Lian should die, Uncle Dan will live, and one day he will become the head of SAPD waiting for his younger brother to put the money in the Mercedes-Benz trunk in a high-end restaurant. Although the film allows me to see the distance between reality and moral needs, the film still unconsciously relies on untrue social moral standards.
But do you remember what the old drug lord said to Denzel in the film? He is exactly the same as when you were young. This M9 police academy top student knows Smile and Cry, has taken drugs, and studied with SA’s biggest evil police for a day. SAPD’s bosses are bad guys, and he also knows that even the Columbian brother owes him personal affection. He has been so close to those he can get huge amounts of money...
Denzel’s role in it is a smart person, he predicted Who said Xiao Bailian would become the leader of the next bad police team?
The reality behind the plot is still crueler than moral needs.
PS Who reads and gives a response? I have written some film reviews and no one has liked it...Who sees my so hard face...
