The final lonely chasing after the murderer was a bit awkward

It tells the desperate world of ordinary people in a foreign country. The film has a clear angle, tight rhythm, and online acting skills. It is a good movie with a thriller theme as a whole. However, the software engineer at the end was a little bit frantic in pursuing the murderer alone.

We have watched too many heroic desperate worlds of soldiers and agents, such as "The Bourne", it doesn't matter how you open it, because the protagonist is there. There are also ordinary people like Harrison Ford who are desperate after being framed. This requires rigorous logic and can only get rid of the crisis by the protagonist's mind and his own experience. The male protagonist of the film is an ordinary person who travels to Greece with his girlfriend. As a result, his girlfriend is killed in a car accident, and the male protagonist is involved in conspiracy and pursuit.

It should be said that the first 2/3 are basically reliable. The male lead relies on brain and decisiveness to get rid of chasing and killing time and time again. In fact, this also shared a lot of experience with the audience. Many people have encountered embarrassment or unexpected situations in a strange land. At this time, they need to be calm, mindful, and decisive. The most important thing is to learn from the male protagonist. While cooperating, you must be vigilant to the local organizations and forces. After all, they are all local messengers, and God knows what the relationship is with the local parties. In many cases, we trust and rely on local institutions too much, and the result is dingy.

There has never been a savior in this world, and in many cases we still have to rely on ourselves. I personally think this theme of the film is very good, and it is very educational for the audience who likes to travel around.

After the hero fled back to Athens, the logic of the film felt a bit messy. Being pursued and killed by local forces, police accomplices, and even embassy officials also fought with the other party. The problem is already serious, and the other party is too powerful. For the male protagonist, for ordinary people, it is the last resort. Exposure through online media, clarifying the truth to the organization that rescued him, and seeking help is the last straw.

At this time, the male protagonist immediately opened the film, fighting the criminals alone, secretly tracking, and jumping off the building to stop the criminals' vehicles. This is a bit of a joke. The software engineer instantly turned into a heroic police detective.
