      Selfish by nature

      The only feeling after watching this movie is bullshit, it is still suitable for darkness in the end, the final God ending is simply nondescript.
      In my opinion, Eddie's choice of death may be more of his guilt for being a policeman. In fact, he is also selfish. Can he hurt others at will if he advertises love! ! ! And compared to the previous few people, Eddie's injury is really nothing. After all, the first person was already dead when he was found, and the second person died...

      It's a pity, it's a good subject, but I didn't shoot well~!

      In fact, it's a very good subject, but I didn't shoot well~! In fact, the formulas and scientists behind this movie are real. It could have been a very deep and good movie, but it turned out to be like this. Let's make do with it, anyway, it's quite suitable for Jiang's case. If Jiang hadn't been kind and nosy, he wouldn't have been slashed more than a dozen times by his good friend's ex-boyfriend.

      That formula means that there is no altruistic gene at all, and there is no kindness...

      great same-sex love

      The twists and turns, originally very boring, chattering descriptions, dark scenes, boring killing games, just because the last black and white same-sex love has been covered up, the details are delicate, and one white hides all the ugly, especially the last sentence. Impressed "I don't regret having you", and I have to be amazed. The ending of a prickly cocoon is worth most of the bad movies. Although it is extreme, it finally makes it clear that there is still true selfless love in this...

      It's more intolerable than they are when the CCP is forced to confess

      I don't know why I saw a thought emerge from the back: when the Communist Party is forced to confess, it is more unbearable than they are, how great~~~~~~ digressing~~~ The whole thing ran away from the movie~~~ thought derailed~~ ~
      I think the director probably wanted to express that individual same-sex love can do everything, including family affection, the greatest maternal love, and the love between opposite sexes~~~~It’s a pity that the friendship has not been moved out~~~ Maybe...

      It turns out same-sex love is the fatal law of great love

      In fact, it 's okay
      for a low-budget movie. A group of wicked gangsters die one after another in brutal ways. Their deaths are not just because of the crimes they committed, but also because of a formula, a quiz , many years ago. A shooting, rape and abuse case has also been re-turned by people. The plot of this film is very tense and twists and turns , and the brutal murder case reveals a rape and abuse case many years ago. It also reveals the emotional entanglement between a police...

      I thought Denny was Eddie's son, although Denny is very dark and doesn't look like a half-blood, but seeing Eddie is so old, how can he never think about love...I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it..Also, the heroine is very My eyes are familiar, but why doesn't my mouth keep closed? Actually, this role is superfluous, maybe I just want to win over some audiences in this almost purely male...

      In fact, it's not bad. The low score is probably because the killer is too disillusioned? The fourth brother, Baba, is actually gay and still a lover. Lao Shi's acting skills are too sturdy. I really want to see him...
