The film can be regarded as mixed, but the director's craftsmanship is very good. Various elements and bridges are well taken care of. From time to time, there will be some sparks of wisdom. As far as black humor is concerned, I can really feel the influence of some of the elders Kubrick and Guy Ritchie. The beginning of the film is the usual way of Hollywood thrillers, running, chasing, getting into trouble or being mad. However, when the woman in the trap wants to save her life with a close-fitting bra and the frivolous tune is played, the film becomes not so simple.
All people who are destined to be unlucky will have almost the same experience, that is, being trapped in a closed space. The employees of these weapons companies are no exception. The excellent performance of the company has given them such a training holiday opportunity, but the incompatibility of [Borderless Land] ruined their good mood. The driver fled, they must be trapped in the so-called luxury apartment, these are all preparations for horror. Their dialogue and encounters brought too many elements of comedy, and the balance between drama and horror became an interesting task. The film does this very hardly, such as the bear on the border, the hallucinogenic mushroom, and the death of Marie Antoine are all very wise, much like Guy Ritchie's characters. What is even more rare is that these subtleties will become a foreshadowing, prompting the temporary comedy to sublimate from nonsensical to absurd.
The film always seems to be completing various forms of tribute, except for the silent film visit, the classic scenes of Rolla-style running and [The Shining] appear faintly. The scene of dragging away the corpse is like a reappearance of [shocked laugh].
Like Mary Shelley creating Frankenstein on a rainy night, the staff's later doom seemed to come from their dinner conversations. The apartment has always been full of weird atmosphere, all kinds of strange things will grab the curiosity of the audience. But the film did not do everything possible to leave the mystery of the identity of the perpetrator to the end like other suspense films. As the killing progressed, the mystery of the fanatic's identity was solved, and the next was the game of cat and mouse. The debunking of the mystery is a great irony. It is not known who is better or who is worse. The reincarnation of good and evil is unstoppable, and it is too absurd. And the power of satire is no less than the accusation of blood and tears.
In short, the film is considered good-looking, tense, exciting, and pleasant to the body and mind. The British humor is from beginning to end, relaxed but attentive, while the broken arm and leg like a cult is a different style. The film can be seen as a polygonal prism, and it is overwhelming to watch while watching it, but it is frightened on the other. But if you take the irony of society, human nature, and even vulgar movies as the focus, it can be said that comedy has overcome fear.
