The vast majority of movies with strong casts are bad movies. The two tigers released in the past two days is a typical example.

Unexpectedly, "Knife Out of the Sheath" broke this spell, with an MTC score of 82 and a rotten tomato freshness of 96%. Not only is it not a rotten movie, but it is also a strong contender for this year's awards season.

Below I will restore the entire case in chronological order.

Haran is very strict with his children, daughter-in-law, and son-in-law, and does not spoil them just because they are their own children.

For Walter, Harlan fired him and took back his company.

For Richard, Harlan told him to tell his wife Linda about the cheating, otherwise he would write to Linda himself.

Later Richard opened the letter and found that it was a blank piece of paper, thinking that Harlan had lied to him. In fact, Harlan really wrote down his cheating, and the text will appear when the letter is heated.

For Jonnie, Harlan exposed her annual deception of money from him in the name of tuition, and said that this was the last time he gave her money.

For Lanson, Harlan said directly that he would not leave him any legacy.

Harlan no longer gave money to any of the children, but amended the will and gave all the inheritance to Marta.

After Lanson learned about it, he thought of a strategy.

The law stipulates that if the heir kills Haran, then Ta will lose the right to inherit.

So Lanson dropped the medicine and morphine, and stole the medicine. (Lan Sen was seen by grandma when he went downstairs)

If Marta mistakenly injects 100 mg of morphine as a 100 mg medicine and injects Haran, resulting in Haran’s death, then Lanson’s conspiracy will succeed and Marta will lose the right to inheritance.

But his wealth of experience has allowed Marta to know which is medicine and which is morphine without looking at the label.

She injected Haran with 100 mg of medicine, and later found out that the label on the medicine read morphine, and mistakenly thought that she had injected Haran with 100 mg of morphine.

She couldn't find the antidote and wanted to call an ambulance, but Harlan chose to commit suicide in order to protect her.

At the same time, a drop of blood splashed on Marta's shoes, which he saw when he first met with Blank.

Then Marta obeyed Haran's instructions and left, and then returned from the secret passage, put on Haran's clothes and went downstairs, so that Walter could testify that Haran was alive after Marta left.

Marta was also seen by her grandma when she went downstairs. Grandma said: Lanson came back so soon.

I said "again" because my grandma recognized her as Lanson, and Lanson had done this once before, and this was the second time.

When everyone was attending the funeral, Lanson saw that there was no one at home and came back and stole Marta's medical kit, but Fran did not expect Fran to see it.

Fran obtained Harlan's pathology report through his sister who worked in the hospital. The pathology report showed that Harlan was not poisoned, but Fran could not understand and sent a threat letter directly to Lanson.

Later, Lanson and Marta met, and Marta told Lanson what she had done.

This shocked Lanson, because he dropped the medicine and morphine, and Marta mistakenly injected the morphine-labeled thing into Haran, and the one who went to Marta to inject Haran was actually medicine.

Haran was not poisoned, and Marta did not kill Haran, and he would not lose his inheritance rights.

Lanson originally thought that the pathology report showed that Haran was poisoned and Marta could be convicted, but now it reversed. The pathology report showed that Haran was not poisoned, but it could prove Marta's innocence.

So Lanson changed his plan. He first sent the threat letter Fran sent him to Marta, and about Marta and Fran met, and then burned down the hospital and destroyed everything that could prove Marta. Evidence of innocence.

Then he went to see Fran in advance, burned the pathology report in Fran's hand, then put on his gloves and injected the morphine in Marta's medical kit into Fran.

In this way, only Marta's fingerprints are on the morphine, not Lanson's fingerprints.

When Marta arrived, Lanson took the opportunity to make an anonymous report call.

At that time, the police arrived at the scene and found that Fran died from an overdose of morphine. There was Marta's medical kit on the ground, and Marta's fingerprints were on the morphine. The evidence was conclusive and could not be disputed.

However, the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and Lanson never expected that he was taken away by Blanc and could not make an anonymous call.

Another thing he didn't expect was that he himself was despicable, and he felt that everyone was as despicable as him. He felt that Fran blackmailed Marta, Marta would ignore his life or death (actually Fran blackmailed Marta was designed by Lanson), but the fact is that Marta did not ignore Fran, but called for ambulance. vehicle.

Marta thought that Fran was talking about "good things you did" before she died, but in fact she was talking about "good things you did."

Lanson thought he burned the only pathology report. In fact, Fran left behind and copied a pathology report. It was hidden under the bell, and it was later obtained by Marta and Blanc.

Before talking to his grandmother, Blank learned that Lanson had left and came back through a secret passage. In addition, the pathology report showed that Harlan was not poisoned, and Marta told him that she had taken the wrong medicine, so that Lanson came back for The medicine and morphine were dropped, and the whole case was further revealed.

But these are just speculations. If there is no evidence, Lanson cannot be arrested.

So Marta lied to Lanson that Fran was still alive and wanted to take Lanson to the hospital to confront Fran.

Lanson really got into his arms, saying that Fran was not dead, so he didn't kill Fran, at most it was an attempted murder.

In this way, Lanson personally admitted what he had done.

It’s the blame for Lanson to invite Blanc to investigate the case. He should have hired a second-rate detective to investigate the case. When Marta found the wrong drug, the case was closed, and his conspiracy succeeded.

But Blank is not a second-rate detective. He not only found out what Marta had done, but also found out what Lanson had done, and he also found out the whole case clearly.

Lanson didn't expect Blanc to be so powerful. He felt that his plan was seamless, so he boldly asked Blanc to investigate the case, and ultimately harmed himself.

The general opinions of "Rashomon" are diverse, so many kinds of theories don't know which is the truth, endless reversals, unexpected plot trends, these are enough to make "Blade Out of the Sheath" an excellent suspense film.

More exciting movies will not only ensure the suspense and reversal, but also expose the human nature in three points, giving the film a depth.

The darkest thing is not the cause of Haran's death, but the scheming and the city under everyone's mask.

At first everyone said that Marta was a family member, and after Haran gave her the inheritance, they said that she must have known it a long time ago, and that she was a slut who deceived her inheritance.

They cheat, cheat the old, cheat money, and want to suck up Haran like a vampire. They don't reflect on themselves, but blame Marta. Even before that, they all agreed that Marta was a good nurse.

Whether Marta is a good caregiver or a bitch does not depend on what Marta did, but whether Harlan gave her the inheritance.

People always like to look for other people's problems and feel that they have no problems at all. This is human nature.

Walter personally said that he should take good care of Marta, but he turned his face and even threatened her with Marta's mother smuggling.

If you give up the inheritance, we will not expose this matter. Even if others expose it, we will help you in a lawsuit. If you don't give up the inheritance, you are so hot now, who knows if your mother's affairs will be leaked out.

If you have committed a crime, if it is good, I will close one eye. If it is no good, I will call the police to arrest you.

At first everyone agreed that Haran had committed suicide, and felt that there was nothing to investigate in this case.

After hearing the will, they asked Blanc to continue the investigation, wishing that Marta would kill him, because she could lose her inheritance rights only if she killed him.

It doesn't matter if it has nothing to do with yourself, even if it is the cause of his father's death, he will care about his own interests.

A family can quarrel every day, or unite for the sake of inheritance.

Because they know that they can be troubled with their family members, but don't be troubled with the money. There is no permanent family, only permanent benefits.

Marta's words really hit the nail on the head: Why Harlan gave me the inheritance, not because of what I did, but because of what you did.

After Haran learned that Marta had given the wrong medicine, if he listened to Marta and called an ambulance, he would find that he was not poisoned, and he would not have to commit suicide to protect Marta.

He likes playing games the most in his life, but he didn't expect to play by himself in the end.

Linda claimed to have started from scratch and packaged herself as a strong woman. In fact, Harlan gave her a million to start her own business.

When Lanson and Marta were eating, Lanson lied to her that the reason he wanted to help her was because he hated his family, but he actually had other intentions.

Everyone said that Marta was a slut, only Meg was on Marta's side and helped Marta speak.

Other people's reaction was not to think about whether Meg's words made sense, but to take Meg's relationship with Marta to a good point, forcing Meg to call Marta to cede her inheritance rights.

You can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep, and you have no way to reason with an unreasonable person.

And Richard, Jonnie... everyone's story is very deep and ironic.

There are many roles in this movie, but none of them are redundant.

Each character has a distinct personality and image, and everything they do and everything they say fits their personality, which can be called one of the best group dramas of the year.

On the surface, this is a reasoning film. Peeling off the shell of the reasoning film is the true face of this group of people exposed because of Haran's modification of the will.

Some people are kind on the surface, but in fact they are really kind;

Some people are honest and friendly on the surface, but in reality they are mean and vicious.

It's too real.
