Soundtrack lighting photography is worthy of praise. The rhythm is controlled with its own characteristics, and it slowly advances. After the innocence is beautiful, there is wanton violence and blood. But it seems that, except for the first scene, it never pulled me into the play. If you insist on categorization, it can be regarded as a B literary Cult film. ★★★

Commander Gao’s stunning performance is like wearing a mask throughout the entire process. Under the director’s extremely calm lens, that face even determines the atmosphere and mood of the film. Such a dog-blooded story has been endowed with another kind of enjoyable movie-watching pleasure by the director. It is full of tension, beautiful and cruel, and after the heavy visual stimulation, there is a story worthy of fun. ★★★★
