The film is a kind of "nervous comedy", even if the sound is turned off and the high-density lines like machine gun shooting in the film are blocked, the film's delicate and complicated visual scheduling will make people laugh and laugh. Although the scene is limited, the film is not monotonous, because the director makes the elements in the picture move, and by controlling the rhythm of the movement, the narrative is smooth and natural.
