...the screenwriter is very important. This "Assassination Stronghold" uses a non-linear narrative structure, spending more than 90 minutes describing what happened in just 20 minutes from different perspectives.

This film, on the surface, is describing a murder of a president, but in fact it tells us from another level: there is no absolute truth in only superficial observations. Only by collecting comprehensive intelligence from different angles and dimensions can we infer the full picture of the event, or the most comprehensive situation possible.

Although the suspense of the story itself is not strong enough, the writer and director's storytelling is as smooth as a DJ playing a disc, and the story about an accident is as smooth as a disc playing a JD, just like the director and screenwriter, but it is enough to make people feel the audio-visual stimulation. More and deeper thinking emerges.

    There are 4 flashbacks at the beginning of this film, which is too much. It's a bit like the way of shooting in American dramas. It would be perfect if you could explain them one by one in sequence.
