Liar's story

Watched "Stickman" with Y, Matchstick Men. A film that Xiaoni recommended a long time ago. Say it's me and Y might like it. really.
It's a story about a liar. Halfway through, Y and I guessed the ending of the story. I said that it must be the 14-year-old daughter who made the liar recognize herself again and abandon the evil and do good; guess Y is a liar, a liar, and a series of scams.
Why did Y think of such an ending because of his rationality or the sinister human nature? Why, I would rather believe that this is a warm ending, the bad guys no longer do evil, and the family relationship allowed him to regain his conscience and become a good person. .
At the end of the story, I shed tears when my daughter pointed a gun at the villain who was about to kill her father. In the end, the story is exactly as Y said. The liar father was deceived by his partner, and even his daughter is just an actor who can win the prize. All family affection and redemption are fictitious.
That kind of family affection, that kind of affection that can cause me to cry, turned out to be a well-designed trap. I can't believe it.
Fortunately, the ending arranged by the director, after the cruel deception, there was a warm encounter, and the kind sentence: goodbye, dad.

    The old liar just put down the butcher knife and became a Buddha just because of a daughter who suddenly appeared. The transformation is too blunt. The two liars, the apprentice and the daughter, are too obvious to find out. The final ending is also a bit of a probation ending. It really feels normal

    3.5 Stakes and risks coexist, deceiving in the over-saturated scam, the reproducibility is too high, it is enjoyable to watch, but not full of fun, especially the handling of the ending, you must know that warmth is not warm; Cage is becoming the "king of bad movies" The previous level of acting skills can be said to be inferior to the interpretation of the characters. Lei Gong's holistic approach, ambition and reality are once again helplessly out of touch. | I don’t believe that people who play soot everywhere are cleanliness.
