A highly intelligent criminal, like Shawshank. But Flint didn't put his high intelligence on the right track. He forged checks and pretended to be a pilot, a doctor, and a lawyer. He was a genius. Of course, in addition to wit, he has the guts and the firm beliefs and tricks he learned from his father.
He was 16 when he left home. His father went from successful to nearly bankrupt, and his mother had an extramarital affair and divorced his father, and married a wealthy lawyer. Flint wants to make money for his father to save his mother and a happy family. But he didn't know that once he did, he couldn't just say stop.
He enjoys the process of escaping while committing a crime, so that at least someone has been paying attention to him and following him, at least he doesn't have to be alone and don't know what to do. Carl in the FBI is also alone, his wife remarried with her daughter, and Flint calls Carl every Christmas, what a strange relationship, maybe because they have the same ailment, maybe because he doesn't have anything but Carl. people can be contacted.
When Carl extradited Flint back to the U.S., Flint learned that his father died while crowding a car, and he went to his mother in grief, only to see her and her new husband and their daughter outside the window, he Desperately went to jail with Carl.
He had a talent for checking checks, so Carl became his guardian and asked him to work for the FBI until he was completely free after serving his sentence.
Flint and Carl, like friends or father and son, I want them to be together, always.
