Jack Mossley, an ordinary person.
He lives in an ordinary world, but works in a dark but respected police station.
He and his partners did a lot of things that were unimaginable and incomprehensible to ordinary people. They were “bad things” done by those who should have guarded the people. -Shooting witnesses, torturing criminals, etc. The reason for doing all this is just for convenience, to vent anger, and to step down.
Maybe they shouldn't be blamed,-who can know the darkness of a certain industry without entering it? I think maybe before they entered this line, the police station and the police in their eyes were shining with moving brilliance. Although it is a bit dazzling, it is so warm.
But when they learned all this, they did not stand up to resist. Maybe it's enjoyment, or maybe it's fear. In short, they didn't act.
People are afraid of death, just like those policemen are afraid to overthrow the corrupt forces in this police station. But they still killed many innocents, and they were also civilians who were afraid of death, had no rights and had no guns. What kind of behavior is this? An act of despising life and devastating life is also something that the police shining with the brilliance of "protecting the people and eliminating harm" should not do.
Just as the corrupt forces are still alive, Jack, who was also one of them, escorted Eddie, a criminal who was forced to commit a crime by reality, just like these policemen. Everything started to be charged when he went to the court to charge. Changed.
At the beginning, Eddie wanted to put on a handsome suit, so that after the trial, he went to see the "sister" he only knew about three months ago, but unfortunately, the suit hadn't arrived when Jack came to pick him up. Jack, who is dissatisfied, will naturally not wait. Fortunately, Eddie's wish was fulfilled on the bus, but the cost was a bit high, and he seemed not in the mood.
As a tainted witness who knew about this major case, Eddie would naturally be hunted down by the parties involved. Due to Jack’s negligence, Eddie was almost killed; Jack’s call for help almost became a "pray for death"; many people His firearms sounded again and again, just like the god of death tapping this sharp sickle again and again.
Needless to say, Jack won.
In this robbing battle, it is not difficult to see that Jack’s crime has made him breathless, and his temperament has gradually begun to recover his good side. From the scene of Jack on the bus-he looked at Eddie with both eyes When talking with the little girl, a hint of pity and surprise flashed in his eyes. Although Jack used Eddie in the end, the purpose of doing so was to redeem himself and redeem others-you can see.
Unexpectedly, the scene of "fulfilling the promise" at the end of the film can be regarded as the final calm sublimation in the rhythm of the whole film "low-high-low". And from the picture where Jack took the photo sent to him by Eddie and asked the sister to take a few more photos, it can be seen that Jack’s eyes and movements reveal memories of the past, his gratification for Jack, and the present Moved.
