This is a "multi-party game" action film, far beyond the ordinary police and gangster films and special agent films.
Film, as an artistic expression, generally simplifies the artistic processing of reality, and does not dare to show overly complicated events. But we know that in the real world, it can be simple to discover, or it can be very complex. The former spy film "Dominion" starring Daniel Radcliffe was adapted from the story of a real agent. The story is simple and the task is simple, but it allows us to experience the real dangerous situation faced by the agent. But this one is a "complex" situation.
The protagonist became a criminal because he killed three hooligans who teased his wife many years ago. The FBI fell in love with him and released him early in exchange for making him an undercover agent. This was originally a good thing for the protagonist, but the FBI's behavior itself has "played with the law", which is a bit unscrupulous. Because of this "illegal" source, it caused the "butterfly effect" to be confusing. It was about to close the Internet, the protagonist has gained trust, and will soon meet the big drug lord "General", and the FBI is already in place. But I didn't expect that before meeting the general, the protagonist also received a small business task, and the person who came to buy drugs was an undercover agent sent by the New York police. The shrewd protagonist discovered the identity of the other party from the dialogue. Xiao Xiao), implying that the other party hurriedly ran, but the undercover policeman actually pulled out a gun and was shot by the drug dealers. On the other hand, because he wants to meet the big drug lord, the protagonist arranges his wife and daughter to hide. The wife and daughter have been hiding for too long without seeing the husband come back. As a result, the big drug lord "General" not only began to suspect the protagonist (started to monitor the protagonist's wife and daughter), but also gave the protagonist a heavier task (let him go to prison and establish a drug trafficking network in prison) as compensation (after all Killing the police will cause a lot of waves and cause losses to the drug cartels).
The protagonist can only agree to go to prison because his wife and daughter are taken as hostages. But the sheriff of New York, who had died his partner, had locked down the protagonist and knew the FBI had something to do with it. In order to get rid of right and wrong, the head of the FBI decided to let the direct contact of the protagonist kill and silence. To make matters worse, after the protagonist enters the prison, he is welcomed by the drug lord group on the one hand, and attacked by black criminals on the other hand (also related to the black sheriff of New York and the competition between different drug cartels).
In order to get out of the predicament and protect his wife and daughter, how does the protagonist face complex challenges from all sides? This is a possible "multi-party game" case in the real world. Although the world can be "scientifically simplified", it is also possible that many contradictions are not so strong in reality, and only the main two-party game is shown, but such a situation is entirely possible. So, the movie shows a special idea. However, the movie is still messy in the end, and the solution is relatively reluctant: the protagonist saves his own life by taking hostages and escapes; and the FBI contact person, because of his conscience, cooperates with the New York police and "betrays" his boss. In the end, the protagonist "may" be cleared of the crime and reunite with his wife and daughter (obviously, the movie is going to make a sequel, so he left it behind).
Although the solution is not very reasonable, it is reasonable and can be regarded as an exploration. 2020-01-13
