A little disappointed

The movie "Invulnerable" is a bit regretful after watching it. The plot in the film is always a bit unsatisfactory and a bit reluctant. It is not a perfect crime. I just finished reading one to four of Zijin Chen's "Murder of Officials" recently. Compared with the crimes described in "Murder of Officials", this movie is not comparable at all. "Murdered Officials" is very rigorous (although in my opinion there are still some small loopholes, so I believe it will not There is a truly perfect crime, only the truth that is unwilling to investigate). Regardless of the motive of the crime, the course of the crime, and the conditions of the crime, "Impossible" cannot withstand scrutiny. Although in the end the murderer found a scapegoat, if someone goes to investigate, it is easy to investigate something that is questionable. In terms of criminal motives, the death of his wife was not enough to support his motivation to blow up the building. From the perspective of the crime, why did he chase a car frantically on the way to the building? Even a professionally trained person chasing a vehicle madly under such conditions cannot guarantee that there will be no accidents, not to mention that this is just a professor. Once there is any accident, then the subsequent bombing of the building and so on will not happen, that is, the crime fails. In terms of criminal conditions, how did a professor obtain these bombs, buy finished products or use other raw materials to make them? To confirm these, investigate all the whereabouts of the professor to know that the professor has absolutely no conditions to obtain the bombs, and it is sufficient. The bomb that blows up a building, because the real murderer did not think about it. In addition to these, many other details cannot withstand scrutiny. So after reading it, I can't help but regret it. There is still a long way to go from perfect crime, and it cannot be considered invulnerable. It can almost be described as a dog-blood plot. Many of the plots in the film are deliberately arranged for no reason. Of course, the original intention of this film is not to achieve a perfect crime, and there is no need to care about all the details and caress about the film. For the director, the film shows what he wants to show. For the audience, me, I just feel a bit regretful.
