When I have nothing to do, I still go to the cinema to watch this p-movie that has already been released. An old actor like Hopkins has long been able to show his personal skills without using lines. Compared with him, the younger generation is too thin. I like to use the adjective "shattering" to translate the title of the film. In fact, this film is more intended to show the change of human nature in this kidnapping case.

The characters with delicate narration are also restored very well. If all the stories are true, I just want to say that the psychological quality of this kind of big business is poor Live for these brothers
