About humanity, reality!

The successful male protagonist who just finished his loan is full of hope for the future. Unexpectedly, people sit at home, disaster comes from the sky, and goes to prison by mistake. Many people are complaining that the camera keeps shaking. I think this is a very substituting way of photography. It was originally a prison-themed movie. The chaotic, noisy and disorderly style of prison gangs has a strong appeal. Family and affection, affection and law are the two bonds of the movie, the early warning of military retirement, the cold-blooded brother of the group, and the framed male lead, the fate of the three people are intertwined. The shaking lens brings us into a world that is different from our previous cognition, cold-blooded, ganging, same-sex, procedural vocabulary that we hardly have access to. Regional prison guards have the right to do whatever they want in their dark ruling territory, and show a human appearance to their superiors to the outside world to cover up those ugly faces; “From the moment you step out of the court, the social rules are no longer effective, and they are replaced by the police’s rules of the game. Follow the gang and do whatever you want us to do". The story reversal quickly, the protagonist belongs to the type of people who survive in the cracks, but there is always a big brother covered, this kind of movie gives people the feeling that there are only two words: truth. Reality forces you step by step to the darkness, from the law, from family affection, from fear, the male lead’s journey to prison has twists and turns, and three years later is another three years. Time dilutes emotions, reality twists and turns everything, the film is full of karma, and the male protagonist walks on his own way step by step. Loyalty and family are what a real man should believe in. John got what he wanted, and Potter did not give in in the end. As for Kos, he did not fall. He made the right choice and guarded the person you love. Is the truth.

    The subject matter and themes are not new, but the writers/directors/actors are quite impressive. The overall tension and aura are strong, and the sense of oppression makes people worry all the way to the end... The only problem is that for people who are sensitive to race, the film's Character settings and some subtext may touch the red line

    If I had to, I'd sweep the planet to find my own.
