Rhythm is the biggest highlight

Monique 2021-12-20 08:01:02

The biggest feature of this movie is the surprisingly calm rhythm, combined with the low and atmospheric background music, to create a unique atmosphere. Tired of watching the same Hollywood movies, occasionally watching this kind of movie has a different flavor.
The opening of the film is very exciting, unfortunately the story is a bit thin, especially the plot of the main line escape is a bit far-fetched, the FBI, religion, police, army, etc. are all deliberately rounded up. The kid is so awesome, just make up a lie and discuss it with everyone. It's over if you wait. The child in the middle was arrested. I don’t know what the parents and the state police are worried about. What should be worried about is the person who arrested him. He has the ability to disintegrate the satellite and is worried that he can’t get out?
The characters are also a bit unstoppable, and the father and the group of people headed by the father are full of bitter expressions, and they are really drunk. .
I feel that this script is very ordinary, and it is completely supported by the director's style. The director may try to blend religion, government, family affection, escape, science fiction and other elements together to dig into depth, but unfortunately, after watching it, it is a bit of a mystery. It is just a shallow entertainment film.
