In many movies that make men's adrenaline surge (such as "Fast and Furious" Or The Expendables), robbing a bank isn't a thing at all. But what they robbed is the bank of a small country with a very weak legal system or a country with a chaotic police force in turmoil. The robbery is not very difficult.
Because the real difficulty of robbing a bank is not the robbery, but how to get out of it after being successful.
By plane? With armored vehicles? People who think so must have watched too many action movies, can they avoid the first day of the new year and the fifteenth? Can you fly out of the city and out of the earth?
Where is the safest place to hide a drop of water? The answer is in the sea.
How about a person, where can they hide so that they won't be discovered? The answer is, in a group of people.
Clive Owen's plan was very ingenious. On the one hand, he deliberately asked for a plane bus to mislead the police. On the other hand, he kept his teammates mixed in with the hostages, so that everyone had sufficient evidence to prove that they were not robbers. Moreover, the plan to use the hostages to send bugs is also amazing.
Detecting the opponent's every move and reacting accordingly is the profound meaning of "being invincible without losing the enemy's defeat" in Sun Tzu's Art of War. Intelligence work is so important on the battlefield, whether it is a real war or a commercial war without the smoke of gunpowder. Some people ask, why did Jiang Gong, who had the overall advantage in those days, never beat Taizu? The answer should be, three-part military, three-part politics, and three-part intelligence. In the military, Peng Liu Sulin's heroic fighting was the direct reason. In the military, he couldn't stand it, and it was useless to talk about other things. Jiang Gong just felt that the CCP could not stand up to the military, so he dared to "interpret the victory of the temple, and decide whether to win or lose in the first battle." Political factors are the fundamental reason. Although this sentence is very old, it is very old, and it is not very spiritual, but it is more like a kind of good hope and comfort, but, From a long-term perspective in the long river of history, it is still very accurate. Jiang Gong himself also said: After the surrender of Japan in 1945, Jiang Gong's prestige reached its peak, and the people who had been trapped in the hands of the Japanese aggressors for a long time looked forward to the Central Army, but the corruption and greed displayed by the Kuomintang officials greatly disappointed people. People's hearts quickly fell to the more honest CCP. Intelligence work is an effective guarantee for military victory. In many key battles, the CCP always takes the lead (Guo Rugui, Xiong Xianghui, Han Liancheng, etc.), and even directly instigates the enemy to defect and strike back (Gao Zhongxun, Wu Huawen, Liao Yunzhou, Zhang Kexia, etc.) made the CCP in a weak position stronger in the Vietnam War, and finally succeeded in turning over.
Finally, at the last moment of escaping from the bank, Clive Owen actually dared to deliberately provoke the police detective, and he was not afraid of the crisis of falling short. If it were me, I would never risk falling short for the icing on the cake...
The darkness before dawn is the darkest, and the moment close to success is the most dangerous. Those who have traveled a hundred miles are half-ninety, and the closer they are to the dawn of success, the more cautious they must be, and the more they must strive for it.
The success in sight is not success, only the success in your hands is success. Don't start to flutter when you are close to success and have not yet succeeded. It is important to know, those who laugh last, laugh best.
