The smooth and down-to-earth style of this film is really pleasing. Too many of these themes have been made into assembly-line action shootouts, and the emotional line is often scratched.
And director Xiaoben crossed the minefield with connotation, neither perfunctory nor impetuous. He felt that he just wanted to restore the true nature of the crime of that person and group of people, and put their life choices in the hands of the audience, on the table, let the people Everyone try to measure and reflect on their own.
One block, one background, one destiny, facing the same muddy swamp, countless generations of ancestors have fallen and died, and there are still waves of successors, why? Look at Doug, look at jimmy, the answer is clear and cruel - with the blood of a thief, there are not many life options left for you. One wants to escape from this "inheritance" but cannot, and the other is deeply convinced that this road of no return will never change.
Finally, as viewers, we are not only comforted by Doug's witty escape from danger and won the heart of beauty, but also shocked and moved by jimmy's death and destiny. All these feelings are emotional projections obtained by yourself after the director's simple and patient paving.
What you are, you will see what. A good movie will always leave the canvas to the audience to color it as they like. I really like this conscience film that doesn't hide, don't pretend, and doesn't show off.
There are also two protagonists really plus points! Ben Affleck is so thin to this size that it is really eye-catching, and his face is so tight that he can't squeeze out a trace of fat, and he can't move his eyes! "Eagle Eye" is unexpectedly suitable for this kind of wild dog character with no culture at the bottom, which is amazing.
