The gray area where death will stop

When I watched the movie at 45 minutes and 11 seconds, I wanted to give up a little bit. Maybe it was because the sense of substitution given to the heroine was too strong at the beginning. I hope Emily Bronte is a strong woman like "Edge of Tomorrow", even Tom's The limelight has been overshadowed, but the film gives people the feeling that the label given is - cruelty and violence. Although such a motif has been discussed in countless Hollywood masterpieces and bad films, the feeling in the second half of the film is that the violence has been fermenting, warming up little by little, and swallowing the heroine little by little. The male protagonist, a man in the middle of a violent vortex (Bencinho), whose desire for revenge keeps him from being devoured, while Brolin's Matt calmly uses a wolf and a sheep to break the rules To readjust the order according to the boundaries of the law; to punish drug lords, to cover up for peace, as for the law, in this area where death will stop and watch, there is really no need to appear. Finally, at the end of the film, Kate needs to sign a document that everything is legal. Maybe this is the real "after breaking" in Matt's mind.

    It's no wonder that those who pretend to be Wen Qing can't figure out how this film can sit on the golden palm with Nie Yinniang, the whole image is metaphorical in the undercurrent of the picture. The "violent law enforcement" is just an introduction to the plot. What the screen really brings out is the contrast between the heroine’s omnipresent vision (meeting room, car windows, night market mirror, cave) and huge wide-angle lens (aerial photography, satellite image). Shaped a sharp point of view that "turning a blind eye is virtue". Really awesome!

    The two-hour film always grips the audience's throat tightly.

  • Kate Macer: Are we going to Tucson?

    Matt: Yeah, you gotta learn how to sleep on a plane. They let me on the base when you need a ride, don't they?

    Reggie Wayne: [to Kate as they approach] You okay?

    Matt: She's fine.

    Reggie Wayne: I didn't ask you.

    Matt: And yet I answered...

  • Alejandro: Fausto Alarcon "El Verdugo". Every day across that border, people are kidnapped or killed by his hand or with his blessing. To find him would be like discovering a vaccine. You understand the value of that?
