"Prey" after watching

I just watched it today, and it feels okay. It's a typical action movie, a criminal psychology movie, and the plot is quite classic. Even if he can't be by his daughter's side in the end, the male protagonist's fatherly love for his daughter is beyond doubt. Facing the various pursuits of the criminal police, it was Emily who could keep Frank going calmly.
In addition, people fully reflect on a problem: the trust between people. Frank did not choose Claire's words when he was in a dangerous situation in the end, which fully reflected the crisis of trust between people. I can understand that after mistrusting Morrel, losing his beloved wife, money, it's hard to believe what she says to a cop who's been chasing him all the time. Not because of fear, but subconsciously choosing not to believe. Sometimes trusting a person can become very complicated. Sometimes what you think you believe in, the truth hurts you. Sometimes you don't believe in things, but the results are often so firm. It's as if Morrel said Frank's wife would cuckold him, and I think Frank may have suspected it before and believed it. Because he has grudges against his wife, he has been reluctant to tell her where the money is. But in a pinch, he still asked Morrel to tell his wife where the money was, and that Frank would often dream of his wife after her death. It's a pity that he didn't know Morrel's true face and mistrusted him. Frank still believed in his wife, and still loved her very much. It's just that when love reaches a certain level, there may be doubts.
Although it is shown in the film that Morrel makes full use of other people's psychological loopholes to commit crimes, I still feel that it is a pity that Morrel's criminal psychology is not described too much. The plot is also easy to guess. The original main line revolved around Frank's search for Morrel. But what is more abrupt is the last person who shot Frank. He is the father of Julia who was killed by Morrel. He should mistake Frank for the serial killer who killed his daughter, so he has been paying attention to him. trend. And this clue doesn't feel very paved. In addition, the male protagonist is still taking the route of immortality, with a body that does not die after all kinds of injuries, typical of the style of Hollywood blockbusters.
Finally, from two points it can be seen that Frank is not dead. When the criminal police did not find the body by the river, Claire smiled, the woman's intuition still worked. And wasn't it Frank who sent Emily the picture? Therefore, I don't think Frank is dead. It's just that after he was deceived many times, he chose not to trust other people's words easily, and instead of going back, he chose to silently protect his daughter from a distance. And Claire could understand that this fugitive who did not kill anyone but loved her daughter, so she chose to remain silent.
Sometimes, trusting the wrong person will leave a shadow. But if you don't believe anyone after this, then there really is no one on your side in this world. Isn't this kind of world scary? Everyone has secrets, and trust may only be temporary, but at that moment, you will feel more at ease. If you don't know who to trust, just stay alone and make yourself stronger.
