    In the early years, Xi Fat was still not smart enough. Like "Beauty's Plan", the ending was left blank, and "Mr. Memory", who went crazy at the end, was also...

    The rhythm is very smooth, and the tense and suspenseful atmosphere has been maintained until the end, although when the mystery is revealed, I feel a little: What?

    Although many scenes and plots are very blunt, it is still a wonderful typical Hepburn thriller. The fast-moving cuts in many places are impressive and...
