the ending i saw

As for the content of the film itself, I don't write much, nor do I write well. Here I want to write down the ending I understand (of course everyone sees the ending differently), so that's why it's so fascinating.
The ending given by the director is actually quite meaningful, I think, or ambiguous. Could it be that the protagonist successfully rescued his wife and lived happily with his family.
At the beginning of the film, the protagonist's family took a family photo, one every day. At the end of the film, the protagonist also took a picture, but only a picture of his wife and son. It seems to correspond to the front and back, but why is there no male protagonist. I think this is a suspense left for the audience. What's the suspense? Did the male protagonist turn himself in again (everyone must be crazy)?
In my understanding, he went back. Why, from his photos of his wife and son. Second, he is kind (he wanted to save the stray boy, he reacted when he knew that the drug lord had a son, etc., needless to say), he killed people, or two, as we see in the film There is a great god who has escaped prison more than ten times, and then went back after coming out. Why? The director made it very clear. Since the protagonist is kind, why does he have to go to prison, rob money and kill people. That's the point of the movie, he believes his wife is innocent and he loves his wife. Very, very love, he is willing to exchange everything he has, including his freedom.

    John Brennan: Yeah, good shit. High alcohol content.
