For more than 100 minutes, from the beginning to the end, there is almost no plot that deliberately slows down the pace. The opening chapter creates a tense atmosphere, and with the right music, people naturally enter the story... Then the hot opening ends, the room becomes bright but still messy, and even the illusion is still uncomfortable.
The arrangement of drinking in the hotel is relatively easy, but it is by no means superfluous. It has roughly outlined the characteristics of each person. The humor and small flips are used just right. Nick's sensitivity to smoke and Lucas's sensitivity to time are all natural It's a big stroke, but when you first watch it, not many people will pay attention to the small details, including everyone's expressions and words when the detective suddenly joins. This scene is more of an apparent calm before the storm hits.
When I first came to the island, the set above has already shown the characteristics of a thriller, desolation, cats, bugs, dummies, leaves blown by the wind... But everyone can still talk and laugh, because everyone except the murderer believes that this is fake of. It wasn't until the first person was killed that the people in the story and the audience realized that this wasn't a rehearsal. JD's death method is also very special. In fact, from the moment he pressed the clock and the dominoes fell, everyone was looking forward to what would happen, until they saw that he was made into "frozen meat". outside.
The deaths of both Lev and Poppy happened suddenly after being tense. The difference is that the death of the former was more terrifying and sudden than the latter. The latter's death was the first time that Nick clearly pointed out the murderer Lucas.
In addition to her shortcoming of smoking, Nick's death also included her suspicion, panic and recklessness. Her paranoia allowed her to discover who the murderer was, but her panic and recklessness accelerated her murder. Before she died, three of the remaining people had been suspected of being the murderer. They originally thought that the murderer was someone hiding behind the scenes, deliberately creating conflict to make them kill each other, but when Sarah made an inference, this The murderer must be one of them, so another confounding figure appeared - Xiali hiding behind.
Vince's murder and the search for Charlie were carried out almost at the same time.
Vince's fear stems from the bottom of his heart. Without a gun, there is no confidence. In fact, we are often like this. We pin a lot of things and thoughts on one item. Also a weakness.
The process of finding Xiali is a bit similar to the opening process, and Xiali's body is the worst among the victims. When he's being held like a marionette, that background music comes out for the second time, and it always feels a lot like "Wonka's Welcome Song" from "Charlie and the Chocolate DreamWorks." In such a tense environment, does the appearance of such a soundtrack also imply the immaturity of the murderer?
One of the street fight scenes doesn't tell who is the good guy from the bad guy, until Lucas is "killed" and Vince is killed, and most of the attention is focused on guessing who Sarah and the Inspector are next At that time, Lucas suddenly appeared again, and cooperated with Sarah to "get rid of" the detective, and was found to be the murderer. This episode is full of various fighting scenes, and constantly asked questions during the fight. Who is the enemy? who are friends. Maybe the friend of one second is the enemy of the next second!
The final ending, it is said that we are not seeing the end of the original version, so we are curious about what the first version is like. After searching for a long time, I couldn't find it, and I was a little lost. This may also be the dissatisfaction caused by the weakness of too strong curiosity.
When Lucas raised his glowing hand and said embarrassment, probably everyone knew what would happen in the next second. Sarah's weakness is water. She knew it; Lucas, she didn't realize it. I've been wondering what would have happened if Sarah hadn't put the phosphor on the watch, would Lucas still have killed her? The conclusion is that even not killing her will make her the culprit! Like what Sarah said, this is an inhuman murderer, so there is no such thing as whether he has feelings for her or not.
The final duel, the fight between two people in the water, made Sarah, who was afraid of water, forget her weakness. That scene should be the most hypocritical, tacky and shocking scene in the whole play. Once people forget their weaknesses, they will I really don't know how powerful I will become in the next second!
The ending is in line with the law, justice triumphs over evil, which is in line with the needs of most people to watch movies, but I always feel that this ending is not as shocking and memorable as the ending like "Fatal ID" or "Master Key", which may be one of the reasons. There are pros and cons!
What's more vague is that Lucas' motive for killing is a bit far-fetched, and it's a bit unreasonable to write numbers on the window (is the director trying to show the murderer's ambivalence that he wants someone to stop him?), and the seemingly important clues, everyone Is the phosphor word behind it just for Sarah to extract the phosphor? The legend has a certain metaphor, but the time is still somewhat confusing.
But these controversies above do not affect this is a film worth watching, especially for those who like fast-paced films and those who want to change, sometimes change a weakness, even if you forget a small weakness, then the next One second can change a lot of things!
