This film tells the story of the protagonist, a policeman who hides his body after a traffic accident, but is threatened by a mysterious person and finds himself involved in a police-related crime incident.

The funeral corpse at the beginning of the film is the biggest highlight of the whole film. The plot is tight, and there are various unexpected obstacles in addition to the tense atmosphere. The toy suddenly rang out in such a tense environment, the whole rhythm suddenly relaxed, and then people outside the room began to notice problems, and the tension immediately increased. The protagonist has everything arranged properly, and he is relieved to sit in his seat. Before the audience can officially relax, the phone rings in the coffin, and the sense of tension and humor pops out at the same time. The acting of the main character is very good.

The movie is full of black humor, except for the above paragraph about hiding the corpse, after the protagonist uses his daughter's toy to help pull the rope to hide the corpse, the daughter's new toy slaps the male protagonist in the face. The portrayal of the villain is also very pleasing. When the two fought in the toilet, the villain was deliberately beaten and pretended to gasp. This setting not only explained the difference in physical fitness between the two, but also made the fight even more. interesting.

But since then, there has been a big problem with the logic of the story. The villain played by Zhao Zhenxiong is obviously powerful. He runs a bar involving the underworld and seeks the interests of the underworld. He can call a crane to kill at will, but he is always on the front line when dealing with the protagonist, but he has absolutely no need to do it himself. Is it the safest?

The villain's purpose is just to find the body and get his own key. The normal way for the villain should be after knowing the identity of the protagonist, as long as he makes an anonymous phone call to threaten him that I know what you did that night, there is a huge sum of money hidden in the body, and the two of us have an equal share and do not owe each other. Or use other methods to lure the protagonist back to the corpse, and then follow the protagonist to find the corpse and kill it.

In fact, after the two had a fight in the toilet, the male protagonist did go back to dig the grave. And why didn't the villains follow him at this time? The villain in the movie has this ability. The protagonist's colleague went to the grave in the middle of the night to find him. The villain also tracked it down and ordered the crane to kill the colleague. The villain in the movie is such a smart and powerful character.

And to complain more, this villain clearly knows the identity of the protagonist, and also knows that he hid the body behind the car, and even the protagonist's family members know it. It is easy to find out that the protagonist is going to attend the funeral that night, and the villain knows There is a corpse in the trunk, but the corpse disappears after the funeral. It is logical to think about the relationship between the corpse and the funeral. Even if you are not sure, you have to try it. Go to the grave, which will save you a lot of trouble later?

There are a lot of details in there. One of the nails during the burial was broken. I thought the villain would ask the funeral director and find the clue to guess the location of the corpse, but the nail was not mentioned later. And the power of the bomb was so powerful that the car collapsed and fell into the lake. How could the villain survive? Even if he survived, he was seriously injured, so how could he consciously hide under the water and hold his breath?

The policemen in this movie are not perfect, and they are not good people in the name of the people. Taking bribes by taking advantage of positions, transferring drugs, or being involved in gangs, any one of them is a major case. So it's a bad cop movie with bad guys on both sides. The routines of many Korean films have been regarded as masterpieces by audiences in our country in recent years. Due to the difference in the censorship system between the two countries, many themes involved in Korean films are very realistic and thrilling in our opinion, which makes many people watch it. The climax of Korean movies that cannot pass the trial in China. Subject determinism is limited. Korean films have their own unique cultural background, and in some stages of cultural development in China, there has also been an era of frequent fifth-generation masterpieces. On the other hand, Korean movies will hide many problems under eye-catching themes. Take this "Going to the End" as an example. After watching it, I am hooked, but after thinking about it, I can still find many problems and flaws. , isn't this the Hollywood model?

On the whole, the plot of this movie has many reversals and many climaxes. It is a work that is not tiring to watch, very happy and full of atmosphere. However, the logical flaws and handling of the smooth turn cannot be ignored.

    On the contrary, those who read the remake version and then look back at the original version are not too invested in watching the original version because of the preconceived influence of the remake version. The remake version basically restores the content of the original version, but pays more attention to the details. At the same time, the open ending of the original version has been changed, presumably to meet the review of the General Administration?

    Go to the end, come to an end. ——I originally thought that after an accidental fatal car accident, it was a story about how the police hero suffered psychological pressure, his personality gradually began to distort and even blackened, and he tried to cover up the truth and tried to hide the truth. As a result, starting from "receiving a phone call from a stranger", the story goes It is getting more and more deviated from my expectations, and the twists and turns of the plot development are quite ups and downs, but the rationality of some plot arrangements and action design still makes me doubtful, despite this, the overall impression of the movie to me is quite good.
