The motive of the criminal is easy to check, but the will of the protagonist is difficult to know

Maybe there are already too many American dramas about the type of crime solving, so this show focuses on crime prevention and tracking possible criminal clues in advance. It does sound a bit like Minority Report, but instead of taking a sci-fi route, it uses a surveillance network viewpoint similar to Public Enemy of the People. But if you don’t make it into a sci-fi film, you must keep it real everywhere, and in this way, you need to give more reasonable explanations and arrangements for the occurrence of various plots.

At the beginning, I was very disdainful about why the crime prevention computer could only give suspicious characters in the plot introduction, but I couldn't confirm the identity. I felt that the clues and data of the murderer and the victim should be clear at a glance, but the reason was well explained in the first episode, so it changed. Understandable, this is a good solution.

Then the detection process in the first episode was a little unexpected. I originally thought that the blonde girl would definitely be one of the protagonists. When I saw that she was still a prosecutor, I felt even more so. A SUPER GEEK was responsible for the technical support behind it, a A handsome agent is in charge of operations, and a beautiful prosecutor is in charge of internal and external communication. How perfect. But. . . Then at the end of the film, it was found that the black female police officer should be one of the protagonists.

Let's talk about the starring role, Caviezel does look a lot like Bell, with a thin face, deep eyes, and a tall figure. It seems that Nolan is really good at this. In the first episode, I can't see too much about the character, but it can be stereotyped as the perfect agent in everyone's ideals. Emerson is still incarnate as a behind-the-scenes man who controls the overall situation like BEN. It seems that his positioning is also a wise man. I still have confidence in his acting skills, but I still can't see too much of the catharsis of the acting ingredients in the first episode, and I look forward to the unfolding of the subsequent plot.

The screenwriter is Little Nolan, who seems to have given everyone a reassurance that he will control such a drama that requires logic and clues, which is worth looking forward to. JJ executive producer is also a lot of points.

In the end, after watching the first episode, I still feel that what the two have to do is too big, too difficult, and too impossible to complete. It is so difficult for a large group of brothers in the prison break to challenge the government. In this play, there are only two solitary people who have to take all black and white. . So what is not known is where the two of them came from so much superhuman determination and willpower. If this is not explained clearly, the psychological performance of the characters will be greatly reduced. However, if there is no background explanation in the first episode, it seems unconvincing and can only be interpreted by the subsequent plot.
