Just love Jim Carrey!

I don't have great expectations for this suspenseful little thriller, because the genre has developed quite maturely, and it's nothing more than a few situations (the protagonist is perverted or schizophrenic, the protagonist is paranoid...) , but my interest in Jim Carrey, especially in this major transformation, is far better than the movie itself. In every movie that has him in it, no matter how good or bad, his performance has never let me down. I like him. He is a true actor, and I like his warm eyes. A little closer observation is not difficult to find that he is old, and his magical face is no longer so magical. Before that face is completely invalid, he started smartly and slowly "changing his face" from The Truman Show early on. , to know how difficult it is for a comedian with an established image of the audience to transform into a serious drama, we can't seem to find a successful example. Although he works hard enough, he still has no chance to be the male lead of an absolute "blockbuster", but Through this film we can see that he is only one step away from this step.

Although the plot of the movie is still old wine in a new bottle, it is better than the heart. It feels familiar but not the same. The audience will not find shoddy or too far-fetched bridges. Of course, you can also use the coincidence details that cannot stop like a bus and a train. Find a bunch of them, this is the suspenseful and thrilling crop circle, and no one can be exempted from it. The director is Joel Schumacher (who collaborated with Jin on "Batman Forever"), and his qualifications are always old, but you don't expect this gentleman to produce any classics, so I am satisfied with the good viewing experience this time.

    Sorry for not turning fast

    23 is a better gimmick. Although the entire narrative structure is mature and a bit clichéd, the tension is still enough to attract everyone's nerves.
