Still a feature film, the reason for choosing this film is Keanu Reeves. The movie starring the actor shouldn't be too bad. Of course, except for Nicholas Cage.

The story is usually unfolded according to two clues, which seem to be irrelevant and make the audience a little bit incomprehensible. At the end of the story, everything is revealed.

Isabella is an elementary school teacher, she is happy and kind. Once while waiting for the subway, she was raped by the villain policeman Joey. She bravely stabbed the policeman to death, but did not dare to face this fact. She hinted that she had met an angel. Moreover, the angel appeared more than once.

Isabella's husband has served abroad for more than a year, but at this moment, she is pregnant. Out of self-protection, her subconsciousness closed off the rape. Tell yourself that pregnancy is a miracle, a gift from an angel according to God's will. No one believed her, so she was driven back to her natal home.

The little girl Eliza, who was brought back to her natal family by Isabella, was hurt by Isabella's father. Isabella did not hesitate and stabbed her father with a knife. In fact, Isabella suffered misfortune since she was a child, but her mother chose to forbear her.

At the end of the film, the truth is so cruel. In a patriarchal society, women are often the weak and victims, even young girls. The problem deserves attention, and justice deserves to be served.

Many times, I am thinking, if there is a God, why would he tolerate this happening. Even if the perpetrator will go to hell, for the victim, the heart is not as deep as hell.

Isabella believes in God, but when she asks God for help, where is God?
