This should be the best suspense movie I've seen recently in terms of rendering suspenseful atmosphere. The whole process of cool tones, the wet and dark environment, the dark blonde hair + blue sweater of the anonymous male protagonist, the red shirt of the prime minister's wife, the soundtrack is just right, and the murderous edge wandering in the dark. The depressing atmosphere culminates in the final car accident, the flying manuscript, and the sounding background music. Everything is over, and no one knows.
I always like to put myself in the situation when watching movies, which makes me so depressed that I can hardly breathe. . .
While the story as a whole is lackluster, the gruesome political intrigue presented here is mediocre. But the brilliant shooting gave this film a lot of extra points, and even at the end of the unsurprisingly revealing "hidden head poem"-style technique, I could watch it with excitement. With the passing of the note, the soundtrack warms up step by step, and the predictable death of the male protagonist comes step by step. This feeling makes me, who is currently facing the exam, even worse than death [I’m joking here].
I agree with what a barrage at station B said: This movie is very suitable to be made into a game. The suspenseful case begins with investigation, clues, BMW, fatal tracking, line throwing, four-headed attachment, intellectual "hidden head poems", and an unsatisfying ending. I will love this game.
As usual, let's talk about actors.
Ewan McGregor, who played the "Shadow Writer", should have been 40 years old when he was shooting this movie, but he still looked soft and ignorant and looked much younger. I don't know if it was specifically for the needs of the role, or if he was really handy in playing a character of this character, his performance in this movie was not particularly surprising, but he did not say that he was reduced to mediocrity. The drowsiness and inability to wake up in the whole process can be regarded as a highly targeted portrayal of the character. Unexpected but it can be said that the expected being slept can't be played again. Yuzhong's dexterity also revealed three points in his actions. Anyone who likes Ivan as an actor should prefer this movie, because Ivan's soft and cute attributes in this movie are overwhelming. While watching this movie at station B, I also witnessed countless Ivan's "wife" They" nympho's barrage.
The old "007" Pierce Brosnan who played Prime Minister Lang still has the charm. His performance in this film made me completely forget his superb singing voice in "Mamma Mia", which is really rare. In the scene of talking with the male lead on the private plane, his facial expressions, actions and line skills show Lang's inner ups and downs, which can be said to be significantly higher than the simple tone of the male lead.
As for other characters, I don't know much about them because I don't know them well, so I can't comment on them. It's just that the look in the eyes of the Chinese-looking nanny once made me suspect that she was the mastermind behind the scenes. Later, because she had nothing to do with the main storyline of the male lead, I gave up the guess.
