No shortcomings, no fun

After watching this movie reminds me of one thing, why do people watch movies? Many people's film reviews reveal two tendencies. One is that they can feel the truth from it, and then they are full of positive energy. The second is entertaining. It is enjoyable to watch, and it is enough to watch it. However, this movie does not have two aspects. Of course, it is not bad at all. Almost every aspect can not pick out the shortcomings. When watching it, I don’t get sleepy, but after watching it, I don’t get anything. , It's not addictive at all, the whole feeling is "What does the protagonist's story have to do with me?". This is really quite entangled.

Overall rating: 3.6/5.0 (The film was made fairly smoothly. Apart from the logical problems of the story and the hurried development later, I really can’t pick out any shortcomings. Rating correction, original 3.8)
Entertainment Index: 2.0/5.0 (Although it allows people to stay focused while watching, it is difficult to make people interested in the whole story, let alone a sense of emptiness after watching it)
Box office performance: cost 30 million, money Have you all rented a sea-view room? In North America, the first week of 7.7 million, perhaps the smooth film is not very popular, but the overseas box office of up to 43.3 million is quite impressive, helping the global box office to reach 62.67 million. I can't help but imagine the director's "Ah...yeah!" expression


The FBI is really annoying. It uses any means to catch people, but that’s not the case. The most pitted place is that he crosses the bridge and pulls the board. After catching someone, he ordered the informant to be arrested. It is really a scum
villain. Since the Ponzi scheme is not the first time it has been done, the government should have found it out. In the movie, apart from collecting money, it collects money.
