Hunter&Karma

I think these two words in the title are the core of the movie.
In the story, this is the experience of how an avenger who is above the enemy can display his revenge invincibly. Sherlock Holmes is wonderful and cold, and the prey cannot be avoided. Several revenge scenes make the atmosphere almost like a horror film.

In a sense, the Avengers symbolizes the fate that people are forced to repay, showing the orderliness of fate and the insignificance of human beings. The reason for this is that the protagonist of this movie is not exactly the Avengers, and the story is largely based on The victims (addicts) are driven by their fear, sadness, and ultimately inevitable death to drive the suspense forward. In the revenge scenes, the protagonist appears quite rarely, and in horror movies With the frequency of ghosts, the inspiration of the film can only come from the audience's substitution of themselves into the victim's mood, and naturally have the feeling of Karma.
Just as Ni Kun said in "Infernal Affairs": "When you come out, you will have to pay it back sooner or later." The past evil deeds are intertwined with the current fear, which deeply shows the helplessness of people in the face of evil. Once you open a box that cannot be closed, it becomes difficult to separate black and white. Regarding the death of these addicts, one can say: These people were swallowed by their own evil deeds.

Regarding the ending, why did the protagonist want the last victim to kill himself? I thought this way: Karma naturally punishes those who have done evil with death and fear, but he is not satisfied to death for those who have done evil. What about the people? Only let this person get closer to evil, let him know the pain of self-division that pushes himself into evil in order to protect his wife and children, the regret of evil because of fear, and this is more than simply killing him. Persuasive.
But I later saw other people correct the lines because I couldn’t hear my lines clearly, and found that the avenger chose to let the prey kill him because he regretted his own revenge behavior. I think although I can explain it in the past, but more or less let the front The omnipotent achievements of the hunter established throughout the film have been abandoned, making the Avengers an avenger, rather than a fateful executor. Of course, the creators themselves have most likely not thought about the so-called representative of fate. , As an avenger, this is also well-founded.
