"Thousand Nets Crisis"

I finally saw this long-lost movie. Before, I wondered how Stephen Freys would make a scam film. I never expected that the key to the plot was messy and ambiguous.
If you are looking forward to watching a genre movie, then you will be more disappointed, because those tricks and suspense are not the point, just embellishment, the point is the complex sentiment revealed in the retro, even with a little "Chinatown" flavor, Including the seeming chaos*.

Of course, people who are hunting curiously are not without gain, after all, the super-powerful Anjelica Houston, the handsome John Cusack, and the surprisingly naked Annette Bening. In addition, the director is best at digging out the potential of actors, which makes people addicted!

    Freys is really good at handling complex relationships. Just like the previous Dangerous Liasions, the script is very skillful, a few lines are messy but not chaotic. The photography is stylized and the acting is surprisingly good. But it would have been nice if the subject of mother-child incest had gone a little further, and the other flashbacks were too traditional.
