American version of "Looking for Guns" + "Infernal Affairs"

The opening of the movie made me see the signs of a bad movie. Isn't this a movie with no technical content at all? (I just watched it, I thought it was like Shoot'Em Up, too bad) The cutting method is also There are too many, it feels like MTV or an advertisement, but when the real protagonist of the film - the little brat appears, the excitement will come to the fore.
In general, it is violent and suspenseful enough. The n clues are connected together, and it is indeed a bit of the tough style of To Qifeng's police and bandit films. Unfortunately, the main line is not clear, suddenly guns, suddenly children, suddenly social problems (seems like The most perverted people ran out all at once), looking a little dazzled.
In fact, this is more like an urban hero fairy tale full of violence. Although there are a lot of dirty things, the ending is still happy and beautiful, unlike Hong Kong-made films such as "Infernal Affairs" and "Evil Eyes".
