The film is about anti-terrorism. From the introduction of the film, it should be a thrilling film. And from the beginning of the film, it also satiated the audience's appetite. The story starts at 12:00 noon and tells stories that happened in the same place from the perspectives of news directors, presidential bodyguards, police officers, tourists, the president, etc., and everyone's stories stop at the most exciting moment. This is a clever technique. If it is simply told according to the progress of the matter, perhaps it is not unattractive; but when different people see the same event, it is easier to shape and describe the characteristics of each person. Looking at the same conflict from an angle, a different spark emerges. The film progresses layer by layer, creating a lot of suspense. Like a puzzle, there are several different clues, and when you reach the last point along the clues, the puzzle is finally solved. It's a pity that the ending of the film is not exciting at all, all the suspense and all the layers fall short. The film does not address the motive for kidnapping the president at all. With everyone in the same place at the end, it feels too dramatic, and the director treats the audience as idiots. At the end of the film, the terrorists let this operation fail in order to save a little girl, which seems to show the human side; and the tourist's phone also seems to want to show the family side of the film. However, in order to show more elements, the film has a superfluous feeling.
If you have bought the disc, look it up; if you haven't, don't buy it. This ending wastes the film.
