Plot:
1. The protagonist's wife was killed, two murderers, one died on the spot.
2. Teddy guides the protagonist to kill a certain John.G ​​(not sure if it is the second murderer), takes pictures for the protagonist and hides the photos.
3.Teddy led the protagonist to kill Jimmy.Grants, and said a lot of lies to mislead the protagonist. The protagonist realizes that he was and is being deceived by Teddy, and decides to lead himself to kill Teddy as the murderer.
4. What Teddy says at the end of the film is basically a lie, in order to confuse the protagonist (and the audience...). As for the flashback in the nursing home, it is estimated that this is also the purpose.
5. Natalie and the protagonist: The first time I saw it was when I parked at the door of the bar and mistakenly thought it was Jimmy, the second time I was at home, I sent the protagonist to find Dodd, and the third time I gave the protagonist Teddy's information. Why didn't she want to kill the protagonist? Have pity on each other, maybe.

Movies with room for discussion and imagination are more popular, especially such movies. It’s boring to talk too clearly, and it’s fun to leave some suspense for the audience to fight.
