The director is weak and the actors are wasted

Putting aside Pei Chunhua's factor, she can give four stars, because she didn't perform well, of course, the script itself is not brilliant, the stalk of dressing and escape is used too much, and the struggle in the prison is very shadowy and has the shadow of the prison situation. A lot of space was used to describe the male protagonist's description of his family's feelings, but how Pei Chunhua used this to make him fall into such a precarious situation in order to get out of prison is too much to pass. If Pei Chunhua’s behavior was completely manipulated by Cliff Owen, it would be too simple to explain, and people would not have a deep understanding of these two roles, including Pei Chunhua’s later conscience discovery and Cliff Owen’s cruelty, although in the play It's all made clear, but the characters didn't express impressively, and the male protagonist did not surpass the wonderful performance in the murder. After all, it's quite satisfactory, and Samsung can't have more. The director still has to remember the pan.

    As an undercover agent, Joel is trying to survive between the police and the bandits, and the final escape is really too difficult. Pei Chunhua is not an old goddess, and her performance in the film is considered passable.

    I just wanted to watch Joel Kinnaman on screen. Those eyes are always so soulful, deep in thoughts and emotions than the character ever cared to express in words.
