This 2006 super suspense movie still looks very interesting. On the surface, it has the taste of the "good guys and bad guys" of the now popular game upgrade version, but just like his original English name-UNKNOWN, the core of the overall situation lies in the game. Of people have lost their memory of their identity. You are facing a complex environment re wrong, everything between life and death, but you only to find you have forgotten your tour in
what capacity the play, for good or ill, who is a friend who is the enemy, everything becomes tricky. . .

The film starts from the moment the protagonist wakes up. There is a disused factory in front of him. There are various injured people lying beside them. Some are tied up, some are handcuffed, some are injured and fall in a pool of blood. Obviously this is a scene of fighting. , But everything stopped. The actor knows what kind of conspiracy he seems to be in, but he can't remember who he is and what role he is in the conspiracy.

. . . Then he awakened a fat man who was tied to a chair. The fat man was not injured, but he lost his memory. Just as the protagonist was about to untie the fat man’s rope, the third man woke up with a handsome bald head. He told the protagonist not to do this. , Because the two people who weren’t tied up should be opposed to the one who’s tied up when everyone has amnesia. The reasoning of the story begins here.

The protagonist agreed to what he said, and then the last two people awoke, one was a short man whose nose was wounded, and the other was a man whose hands were handcuffed and shot in the shoulder.

There were three people who were able to move in this way. They started looking for anything that could provide clues. Later, in a newspaper they found and a phone call they received, they found the names of the two people kidnapped two days ago and what the person on the phone referred to. Agree, so this is the base of the kidnapping case that the police are investigating. Everyone began to feel fear, because the surrounding mess and injuries told them there was a fight before they woke up. They didn't know who of them was the gangster or the kidnapper.

They began to find a way to escape, because the three of them felt that they were upright and could not be a gangster, so when the gangster leader took the money back, he would naturally be killed, so they united to find a way out.

After that, everyone’s memory began to wake up slowly, bringing about various crises. First, the dwarf remembered that he was tied up on the ground by someone on the way from get off work, and some of the people who tied him seemed to look like the protagonist, so he quietly He told the bald head that they were kidnapped together, but the actor could not accept that he said he was a kidnapper. Among the fragments of his memory was the scene where he ran into the hospital holding his daughter in his arms. There are also some problems with Xiaozi’s memory. He mentioned the bald-headed child, but Baldhead recalled that he had no children, so Xiaozi wanted to pull him as a group of himself and was suspicious of him. He preferred to believe that the male protagonist was a good person, because in his words "I don't know why I feel that only you can be trusted." . .

Just when the dwarf was angrily untied by the suspicion and wanted to have another partner, the protagonist’s memory was restored a bit. He remembered that he had tied the bald hood to the hood himself, and his inner sense of justice and The unacceptable memory contradictions made him miserable, and the unreasonable trust in the face of bald head also made his heart more stressed. Their relationship became more tense. At this time, the man who was handcuffed suddenly said that he had a memory, and told them a story. The

story is probably that he and the male protagonist were killed in the sea when they were young, showing that as long as they are united, they can survive. Hope that the man died after speaking. The message left is: he and the protagonist are brothers. If the protagonist recalls that he is a kidnapper, then he should be too. The protagonist is still very conflicted and did not tell everyone that he knew he was a kidnapper. This is because other people are moved by the story and join hands to deal with the kidnapper who is about to return.

The police were also following the kidnappers. The wife of one of the kidnappers was told by the kidnappers to put the money in a locker, and then the police followed him. The critical time has come. The kidnappers pushed open the door of the factory. Everyone winked at the fat man and asked him to pull down the mechanism and smash a big iron bucket at the kidnapper leader. At this moment, the memory began to haunt the kidnapper again, and the fat man suddenly remembered that he was actually He was one of the kidnappers, so he smashed the iron barrel at the actor, so their escape plan failed. In fact, there is a little suspense here. If the fat man recovers his memory, he should know that he and the actor are both kidnappers, so why? Push the barrel towards him. .

Anyway, everyone started fighting again. The fat man was shot and killed. The bald head was kidnapped. The protagonist had no choice but to take the short boy out. At this time, the bald and the short boy believed that the protagonist was really a kidnapper, but they still seemed to have hope in their hearts. That's right, the bald head's unconditional trust and understanding of the protagonist won the protagonist's heart of justice. When the bandit leader asked the protagonist to go out and shoot the hostages, he let them go and

the police who came later violently said that this group of criminals was among them. With their undercover, the gangster leader came out and started fighting with the protagonist. I think this arrangement of the plot probably explains where the protagonist’s sense of justice comes from, but it loses a bright spot. If he is indeed a gangster, he is no longer there. Memory, when there is only human nature and the desire to survive, he feels the justice in his heart and the trust of friends, so he no longer wants to be a gangster. This may make the story dig deeper on the issue of human nature. I thought that

later the dwarf was shot and died. The protagonist fought with the gangster leader but the bald head rushed to save his life, so the last one was the protagonist and the bald head.

At the end of the story, the director arranged a peak circuit to transfer my previous one. The idea can’t be established. It’s the bald wife. The woman who gave the money to the gangster rushed to her husband to hold her husband, but kept looking at the protagonist deeply, so the protagonist remembered many episodes such as the acquaintance and tenderness between him and this woman. And how he persuaded the gangster leader to create this kidnapping case, and agreed with the woman that the last two took up the money and went away, but after experiencing all this, his inner contradiction has been resolved, and he handed the package of money to the police. . . . . The ending meant a long time. The woman looked at him in disbelief, while her husband, the bald head, pulled her over to meet this friend who was really worthy of his "trust". .

In fact, there are many flaws in the play, and the detailed investigation is different from the thinking of the character reasoning. There is also a saying that the death of the protagonist’s daughter was caused by a doctor and that person was a bald head. Then the protagonist arranged like this The kidnapping case also has some flavor of revenge, or it was because of the ambiguous relationship between him and the bald woman, and the woman mentioned that he could not divorce him for some reason, so the protagonist thought of the kidnapping case. In this way, there are actually different opinions about the ending, or the protagonist has decided to bring these gangsters to justice in a kidnapping case because of the status of an undercover agent.
Fa and took advantage of the woman, or he just wanted to run away with the woman before, and because of his amnesia, he saw the justice in his heart and was moved by the trust of the bald head, and gave up the plan. Anyway, the memory of the protagonist has not been restored, and all this is only left. Let the audience think about it for themselves. . . .

This is the best suspense film I have watched recently, and I think about it for a long time after watching it. . . Hmm, write it out and share it with everyone~
