This film is a wrong tragedy~ It's really hard to understand how such a wife would doubt her husband, is it all in vain for so many years? To be honest is the sadness of human nature. What this film expresses is that in order to truly find out the truth, we must recognize the facts and not be swayed by human emotions, which often leads to more wrong tragedies. The story is simple, involving two families, three children, one Jimmy, one Dave, and one Sean. As a child, the three children were playing outside. Among them, Dave was caught by criminals as a child prostitute and was rescued many years later. When they grew up, Jimmy's children were murdered by him. Make sure it's Officer Sean who is here to investigate the case. On the night of the incident, Dave came back covered in blood and was found by his wife, who was said to have beaten the robber. The wife suspects that her husband killed Jimmy's daughter and tells her brother-in-law Jimmy. Jimmy killed Dave angrily, and Sean got to the bottom of the case and learned that the murderer who killed Jimmy's daughter was the two sons of his traitor colleagues who were killed by Jimmy many years ago. Telling Jimmy earlier could prevent the tragedy from happening, but Still one step closer. When Jimmy found out, he regretted that he had killed Dave by mistake, but he did not dare to tell Sean the truth. The film did not explain the follow-up of Dave's death, and it ended in an open style~

    Even though the two golden statues of Sean Penn were added, I still feel a kind of resisting nausea towards certain styles of this slick old "drama".

    Is it a misunderstanding for a long time? Too long, more than 2 hours, it will be better if it is streamlined. . The emphasis is on what happened to the car I got in when I was a child, and it felt too dramatic and unreal. . Only the three children will grow up due to this incident~ In reality, it is possible that the three of them will never meet again.
