The US version of the film is called . Viewing is sub-table. Appearance, according to the image in the past films starring Jason Statham, the whole film does not have exciting scenes, and it can even be called a drama film, which may be a little disappointing; It is poignant and gloomy around the deep meaning of "self-salvation". When Joey asked Christina to take a picture of himself, he asked Christina if he looked like a good person, which just expounded Joey's inner ambivalence between being a good person and longing for redemption but being afraid to face it. At the end of the film, Joey left the money he earned from working for the gang to his wife and daughter in order to make up for his failure to fulfill his responsibilities to his wife and daughter for many years; he helped many low-level homeless; Isabelle's murderer did what he thought he should do, and exercised a kindness that people couldn't absolutely agree with on a moral level. Everything Joey has done is to redeem himself for the mistakes he made in the war in Afghanistan, which is also the fundamental reason why Joey was hunted by the hummingbird from beginning to end, and he will face the sanctions of the military court. theater entrance, Joey told Christina about his life experience, recalling his innocent father who was hanged by himself for avenging his comrades in the war in Afghanistan.

Christina was leaving for Africa, and instead of taking the red dress from Joey, she left it in the church, illustrating that she had to end this short and poignant relationship with Joey that could not be recognized in the world, because She is a nun, and nuns cannot have love, so she chose to go to Africa and leave Joey forever. Christina opened the letter Joey had left her in the car to the airport and said, "I know I'm not going to be a good person by doing this, but I tried. Now I'm going back to the streets and disappearing there, this summer. I have a new life..." At this time, Christina's expression showed helplessness to fate, melancholy or calmness... I think Joey should have deliberately walked on the street and let the hummingbirds find it. "Find the goal... win..." In the end, Joey also truly got redemption in the sense of himself. This film needs to be comprehended by heart, not just visually. If you really understand this film, it can definitely shake the deep emotion and resonance in your heart, and the personal evaluation is absolutely five stars!

    The soldier whose soul was traumatized by the war became the gold medal fighter of the Chinese underworld, and then, inspired by the nun's spirit and body, he was redeemed to become the nun's demon killer. I thought it was the result of a war movie, fuck, a literary movie~
