In fact, the murderer didn't die in the end, so everyone should add one more star to this evaluation.

Since the murderer is not dead, who is it? Yep, that black man.
This thought didn't come to my mind until the end of the movie, when the heroine held a gun and looked down at the evil little handsome guy who had been confirmed as the murderer, and the black man was standing next to her. A thought suddenly popped up: is all this a replica of the simulated case at the beginning of the movie?
Here's a review of the simulated case. The heroine and the leader found the murder scene and found that a murderer committed suicide by swallowing a gun. They determined that the murderer was dead, so they announced that the state of emergency was lifted. But in fact, there are two murderers, and the result of the simulation is naturally a complete failure of their mission.
Speaking of which, repeat my thoughts, is it possible that the black man is also an accomplice, that is, all this is a copy of the original, and the heroine failed again? This point of view is not confirmed until the end of the film, when I finally wait until the black person says the key line that appears many times throughout the film: When is the emergency going to be lifted, sara? This sentence sent me into the deepest horror!
The camera was given to the heroine, the heroine looked happy, and answered unconsciously: until the way home.
Do you think the director really just wanted to use this dialogue to express the small feeling of the two of them after the catastrophe, escaping and ascending to heaven, and living a happy life from now on? The director is actually rendering a deeper horror!
When I saw the heroine and the black man facing the sun and stepping into the helicopter returning to human society, I saw the real murderer lurking next to the heroine, and no one would doubt him from now on. Even the sunlight in my eyes couldn't restrain the chill running up my back.
"When will the emergency be lifted, sara?" When Mr. Negro said this, what he felt in his heart was the pleasure of playing with someone again, and the fact that the heroine couldn't see through his true colors. Deep ridicule!
Let’s go back to the mock case at the beginning. There were two murderers, one of them killed the other and pretended to commit suicide in fear of crime (the living murderer seemed to be pretending to be a corpse or something). In this way, no one will suspect the living murderer. This trick is very clever, but the detectives at the time discovered the flaws (different brands of cigarettes, two cars or four-seater cars) and captured the murderer.
However, the heroine and the leader were not sharp enough, they only thought of a murderer and failed in the simulation scene.
Now, isn't all this alluding to the story that happened later?
To cite a few more evidences that blacks are also murderers:
1. When the evil little handsome guy died, the blacks threw a watch at him and said: Now it's your time to die. (It's probably like this, many lines can't be remembered completely, sorry for that). As we all know, setting a schedule is a common reminder in movies when a murderer kills. Is this action of black people a bit special?
2. When analyzing the murderer, the heroine mentioned that the murderer was doing a profile of everyone. When the group first arrived on the island, in the base lounge, the black people profiled everyone.
3. Other detailed information such as architectural drawings of the entire island were found in the bedroom of the black man. Black's explanation was to investigate mentor Harris.
I would also like to talk about a plot that I used to refute my point of view: Since the handsome guy and the black man are accomplices, why did the two of them fight in the end, wishing to kill each other?
I thought about it for a long time before I figured it out. In fact, from a very early age, the handsome guy insisted that the black man was the murderer. That is to say, at that time, the two had already fallen out, and the handsome guy had already started to try his best to kill the black man.
If I said that I thought the handsome guy was a bad guy from the beginning, would I be considered a bit pretentious? It seems to be because I saw a few images played by handsome guys before, all of them are serious people on the surface, but sinister inside. So as soon as I saw him I thought he was a bad guy...
In the end, all of the above are just my personal views, and there may be subjective elements. Believe it or not, it all depends on your own understanding.

    In fact, at the beginning, I was thinking why you can’t find a lawn or something to sit around in a circle, play cards, and look at the sea. Wouldn’t it all save trouble...
