What is the kernel of this series

Although the second film is a follow-up to the dog's tail, as a series of films, let's try to find the commonalities of the two films as much as possible. I hope you will continue to add.

1) Chaos at the US-Mexico border. This is what "Slayer on the Frontier" mainly wants to present to the audience. The first shows audiences the mercenary between corpses hanging from the streets in Mexico City and a near-civil war gangster. The second part shows the chaotic border smuggling business, not only with the participation of Mexican gangsters, but also high school students and even housewives on the American side are tempted by high profits to participate.

2) State violence. The government does not allow the people to kill, but the government itself trains people to kill. When the crime is too much, the bigwigs in Washington will think of ways to rectify it with violence and violence. In the highway bridge section in the first film, the Mexican horses who had been drugged and delirious were all executed by Delta in an instant, and the level of violence on both sides was not at the same level. And the second one showed more powerful state violence, someone posted about why the little girl was brought back to the base instead of finding a quiet place, which in my opinion was purely to show the rows of helicopters and humvees outside car, showing the violence of the world's top state that the United States of America bought for 700 billion a year.

The state violence shown in the "Border Killer" series has no restraint in a chaotic place like Mexico. Torture, indiscriminate killing, and even killing people to vent their personal anger are all possible, and there are thousands of connections between the CIA and the South American drug cartel. Of course, all of this can be explained in the past with a sentence of safeguarding national security. In the first part, the people who had to bring the FBI because of the law that the CIA cannot operate independently in the country, led to a slight restraint in the action. In the second part, with the banner of fighting terrorism, the CIA simply killed people on the street.

3) Hardcore shootout. The highway bridge section in the first film has exceeded 2.5 million views on YouTube alone. There are not many shooting scenes in the whole film, but they are all edited sharply. Although the director of the second part was changed this time, it obviously tasted the sweetness of the first part and hoped to continue the style of this hardcore shootout.

4) Border scenery. The U.S.-Mexico border is desolate enough to have nothing, but desolation itself can be a kind of beauty. Both films will give some shots to show the lower border scenery in a violent atmosphere. In the first part, the scene of a group of people marching down the sunset is unforgettable, and this time there are more overhead shots of following the helicopter, and the scenery is really good.

5) The acting skills of the uncles. The desolate frontier is not the place where the gentleman should appear, and the complicated gang wrestling cannot be solved by a sturdy man like Rambo. The image of two wise old hunters played by Benicio and Josh Brolin is very appropriate. The first film saw them from the perspective of the heroine, and this time they directly played as the protagonists.

    The whole thing is shit.

    The more I try to copy the tiger and the skin, the more it highlights the unrepeatable nature of the first part. But Uncle Toro is the walking hormone, enough.
