Forcing him to turn his target to seeking revenge to protect his last remaining family.

Turn the pain into the strength to move forward

Whether it's action stars such as Liam Neeson, Sylvester Stallone, Dawn Johnson, or Gerald Butler, who became the "strongest dad on the surface" because of the victimization of their families, revenge on kidnappers or prisoners is a theme often chosen in their works. And this time, Netflix's "Sweet Girl" is the turn of Jason Momma, who is well known as dc hero "Aquaman", through his struggle to protect his daughter played by Isabella Monet, showing his hard-line masculine charm.

The laying out of the background

At the beginning of the movie "Sweet Girl", we can see from a police operation in the baseball field that the protagonist Ray, played by Jason Momma, is in a desperate state, surrounded by a large number of police forces, and there is no way back from his mouth: "Things should not be like this." He jumped from the high platform on the roof of the stadium into the water. What exactly did he go through? Why did you end up in this situation? It also arouses the curiosity of the audience.

Time back a few years ago, the audience watched the protagonist of "Sweet Girl" Ray camping in the forest with his wife and daughter, and they could feel the closeness and happiness between the family and each other. However, after his wife was diagnosed with cancer, although the painful treatment made the family's feelings closer, and through the hard work and growth of his wife and daughter, Ray was able to find himself again, but it backfired, as a glimmer of life, the new drug was postponed because of the bribery pressure of competing pharmaceutical companies, and also made Ray and his daughter Rachel lose their beloved family.

The design of the plot

Therefore, Ray, who was sad and indignant about the futility of his wife's cancer treatment, decided to seek justice from the top management of the pharmaceutical company who only cared about profit but wasted human life. Although he finally received a call from a reporter after some effort, saying that he had the key evidence that could put the relevant high-level officials in jail, he did not expect that not only was the reporter assassinated during the secret meeting between the two, but also the father and daughter of Ray and Rachel were also in crisis.

Ray, who has always hoped to protect his daughter, has put her in danger because the operation has put her in danger, causing him to turn from looking for evidence of bribery in the pharmaceutical factory to becoming radical and going directly to the pharmaceutical factory's charity party to block people. However, Ray's reckless behavior also made him forced him to leave home with his daughter and evade the police.

Does the evaluation look good?

That's why, in addition to focusing on the father and daughter on the escape journey and investigating the real culprits, the movie "SweetHeart Girl" also focuses a lot of space on the relationship between her daughter Rachel and the two of them. From trying to escape the police pursuit and the pursuit of mercenary killers, to the conflict of opinion between father and daughter, to Rachel contacting the federal agent who undertakes the case and trying to wash away her father's grievances, "Sweet Girl" has given "Sweet Girl" a considerable degree of suspense.

The middle of the "Sweet Girl" movie between the father and the killer because of the death of the insider, the coincidental encounter in the restaurant and the negotiation section is quite wonderful, not only in the case of daughter Rachel and the unsuspecting police officer are in the same room, giving the scene a fairly high tension, but also because they go further towards the secret hidden behind the drug factory, so that the exchange conditions proposed by the two sides to pave the way for the follow-up story of "Sweet Girl".

Story flipped

Interestingly, the plot reversal later in "Sweet girl" is unexpected, after the father and daughter decide to go to Pittsburgh to hunt down the city councilors involved, "Sweet Girl" is locked by the police through the vehicle they are driving, allowing the story point back to the opening scene on the roof, revealing that the person who committed the murder from beginning to end and was forced into a desperate situation was not actually Dad Ray, but the daughter Rachel, who lost her father in the train fight where the reporter was assassinated.

Although the truth that Rachel is the real murderer is surprising, in fact, "Sweet Girl" has laid the groundwork for this plot reversal as early as the previous paragraph. Whether it's her constant practice of mixed martial arts in the film, her over-focus on training and injuring her opponents, or her waitress dress when she goes to a fundraising dinner, the pain of losing her family alone for years has caused her to have a multi-personality mental disorder.

The meaning of the ending

I can clearly feel the character's longing for the deceased relatives throughout the film "Sweet girl", the grief and anger that the little people do not pay attention to, so that Rachel thinks of herself as a father as strong as Jason Momma, and takes revenge on the original culprits who caused the destruction of her family, but on the other hand, Rachel's own sense of autonomy also hopes to prevent her violent killing, fortunately, she also managed to find a balance between the two.

Back to the monologue read by Jason Momma at the beginning of Sweet girl, the past is like a dream, and some memories have the power to change, shaping us into what we later look like. However, as the years go by, we will also realize that we are only the product of shaping. Therefore, "Sweet Girl" is actually a child's growth after experiencing trauma, where should the close parent-child relationship draw a dividing line, so that they can develop an independent personality on their own? I think Sweet Girl tells us the answer with Rachel's choice.

Film review conclusion

Overall, "Sweet girl" superficially designs the conspiracy of the entire film based on the collusion of officials and businessmen, as well as the political situation that requires a large amount of money to win the election, but compared to a suspense thriller, "Sweet Girl" focuses on the emotions between the characters and the psychological state after the loss of relatives. Isabella Monet, who has had excellent performances in "Transformers 5: The Last Knight", "Fast Family" and "Dora who Loves Adventure: The Vanishing Golden City", this time perfectly interprets the character of Rachel, in addition to the action fight scenes without too many flaws, but also allows the ending plot reversal to convince the audience.

Although the subversive design of "Sweet girl" is a bit cunning and may disappoint audiences who originally wanted to see "Aquaman" Jason Momma's hardcore performance, even so, it does not affect the final theme of "Sweet Girl" about parents' expectations of their children and helping them grow into an independent individual. It may be hard to accept the loss of a loved one, but just as the Sweet Girl can find another way to survive, instead of worrying about what they will do without themselves, it is better to let them go and break in on their own.
