desperation

This story follows a doctor accused of killing his wife, but flees before the execution and tracks down the "one-armed man" responsible for the murder as a police officer tries to retake him. The movie is a classic Hollywood action blockbuster.

The policeman, one of the protagonists, does not give up any possible clues, like a hunting dog, biting hard. He is decisive and has a keen sense of judgment. This film is about the struggle between justice and evil. Both sides have a persistent energy to find evidence to prove their innocence. This perseverance is worth learning from everyone.

This film shows the darkness of the medical system and judicial system in capitalism. His hunt for the killer is not an action hero's confident quest, but an uncertain decision based on the impulse of a desperate man whose medical background is his only tool. Fear is not for flashy drama.
