The director also carefully arranged the sequence. Although the time is all 30 minutes, the plot is gradually progressive. In the second half of the film, the killer The whole conspiracy of the east and the west was only tried to be discovered, and it was possible to catch the president who was hiding behind the scenes.

    American screenwriters can dare to do

    It's so ugly. The first half is the repeated replay of the assassination scene from multiple perspectives. The poor quality hand-held footage and a lot of repeated scenes are too low in style. Halfway through the performance, the real president appears, and the one who was hit is a double, and then the real president also I was attacked, and after that, there were various replays and various replays... Really impatient to watch it! How can you be in the mood to care about your truth! The director is a very straightforward person, how could he have filmed such a thing?
