"Detective Jack", a suspense film? Action movie? Or a suspenseful action movie!

The criminal group tracked and used the sniper Barr, mastered Barr's shooting and combat habits through a series of methods such as drawing close and pretending to be friends, trying to cover up a commercial murder as a perverted act of a veteran sniper shooting civilians. Coupled with the fact that the bribed police officers deliberately led to the snipers, the case seemed to come to light.
But Barr's sentence, "Find Jack," brings the case into a more complicated or clearer situation. The complication is that Barr's record of shooting civilians before his discharge from the army and his final statement in the play that "Jack will come to his rescue" confuses whether Jack has anything to do with the shooting of civilians; it is clear that Jack is a People who have their own view of justice are not bound by the law. Perhaps, the few people Barr shot and killed when he was about to be discharged from the army was Jack who took the initiative to find him, with the help of a sniper who was crazy to shoot real people to eradicate the evil forces in society, and took advantage of the law to keep the sniper innocent. It can also explain why when the underworld old man finally said that even if he tried, the law would not necessarily convict anyone, Jack shot him dead. This is Jack's view of justice that is not bound by the law. If the law can't decide, he will try and execute him. He is similar to the green forest hero in our country, and it is also the personal heroism that has been advocated in Western movies.
Of course, Jack's view of justice cannot be denied. As long as a murder case is committed, he must pay for it in blood. Therefore, Jack also believed that the sniper was the murderer at the beginning, and it was not until he gradually analyzed the case and found suspicious points that he thought that the murderer was someone else.
Throughout the whole film, I personally think that Jack is a good man and a knight, and there is no need to doubt whether he is related to the shooting incident.
The whole movie, as a reasoning and suspense movie, is too slow to gather and pee too much, it is better to watch "Charlotte"; as an action movie, it is better to watch "Mission Impossible" and "Spy Shots" without the dazzling scenes of big production. Heavy"; as a legal literary film, it is too bloody, it is better to watch "The Good Wife".
If I had to give this movie a score, I would give it 65.
