      After twists and turns, accidentally fell out

      At first, I was deceived by Douglas' appearance and background, thinking that he had constructed a perfect murder, from investigating a third party, intimidating, deceiving, planning, and then executing, especially when playing cards, switching between several calls, and then throwing away the phone to destroy the evidence, It looked flawless, however, because of a small accident, the steak tool fell short. When he took the key by mistake, he was already flustered, leaving a clue to the...

      not perfect murder

      Tyler discovers that his wife Emily has been cheated on by liar David, so he pays David to kill his wife...

      The situation set by Taylor was not perfect, let alone super perfect. He thought it was perfect, but he didn't expect David to resell the killer's mission, and he didn't expect his conversation with David to be threatened by his recording, and even more so. Unexpectedly, Emily discovered her own conspiracy..

      There is no unexpected reversal, and there is no unexpected...

      The heroine did not realize that she was also at fault

      Although it is wrong for the male protagonist to design to kill his wife, but the reason is not because his wife is cheating? Although a clever police character appeared, the plot was reversed in the end, and the person who designed the murder did not end well. But she didn't say more about the affair of her wife, is she not wrong at all? It gives me the feeling that because she can speak Spanish and has a god-like tacit understanding with the police, she has become a Virgin? What do young...

      Three villains in one play

      Stephen loves his beautiful wife deeply, but his wife's betrayal makes him from love to hate, and finally because of his career crisis and reputation, he has the urge to murder his beloved wife, which is both pitiful and hateful. Emily has a husband who loves her deeply, but doesn't know how to cherish it, so that she falls into the trick of the villain. I think that the murderer in the film refers to her, which is more perfect. Xiao can be said to be the fuse of the whole story, a villain in...

      Quite a fool, the woman who came out of the wall killed two people in a row in self-defense, and the ending was changed to her as the ultimate boss! Gwyneth Paltrow's bitter melon face is extremely impatient, and she only hopes that Uncle Douglas will kill her soon; poor painter is unconvincing, typical of an artist who never washes his hair; the male protagonist loses too wrongly , the financial people's IQ is worrying. [Why do all murder audiences in movies expect the murderer to succeed?...

      With a score of 7.3, the performances of Douglas and Gwyneth can only support the scene of the film. The plot is too fake, and the director wants to surprise people but it is...
