The action scene of the whole film is quite compact, although the display of the bloody elements is a bit intuitive. It is worth mentioning that many details are foreshadowed and echoed. For example, the opening scene is a flashback, the male lead Mike appears on the stage, and the appearance of Mike in the interrogation room makes people feel horrified. The high-speed flash memory sequence can also be regarded as a suspense for the audience, and echoes the ending. The setting of the male lead supermarket cashier and the subsequent Jedi counterattack in the supermarket were taken care of. The phobia of leaving town corresponds to the special background of Agent Mike Dormant.
In addition, a few unexpected small details in the film are quite impressive. For example, Mike looks like Phoebe calling for help after killing someone. The capitalized three words are not reliable, but they are very funny. The "pan swing bomb" used by Mike in a critical juncture is also very amazing. The metaphor of the tree and the car at first reflected Mike's inferiority complex, but Phoebe's use of this metaphor was really moving. There are also fireworks that Mike used to propose to Phoebe, which turned out to be a "smoke battlefield" effect. Although the animation at the end of the film is bloody, but full of imagination, it seems to imply the successful conclusion of Mike and Phoebe's trip to Hawaii.
Of course, there are also some shortcomings in the film. For example, Mike and Phoebe’s relationship line is too thin, and the settings of the CIA's senior staff are relatively facial.
Finally, I want to give a thumbs up to the subtitle group.
PS: Would you like to know under what circumstances Mike proposed to Phoebe? Look for it in the movie (this is really unexpected~)
