I have always liked BBC's mini-series, until I finished "No Survival", the quality is always guaranteed, just click on one and it will look good, no matter what the plot is, the picture is always beautiful, and British dramas are inherently frigid Tune people like.

The story is about a homicide in Scotland where a newlyweds, childhood sweethearts, are brutally murdered after returning from their honeymoon.
Their families were shocked because the two were neighbors and were in total chaos.
The killer drove to their parents' farm the night after killing them.
A storm came, and his car rolled over the road.
When the two families found him, they found that he was seriously injured. Facing the murderer who killed their children, they placed him in the stable on the farm, only to find that the murderer had died in the stable with his throat cut in the next morning. inside.
Who killed him that night?
In the process of looking for the answer, the truth behind it is slowly revealed. Everyone has a secret,

but before the British TV series pushed the capacity of three episodes. It was a bit confusing at the end. Because of the late business trip, I watched two episodes alone in the hotel. The opening was very good, but I was used to the accent of American dramas and suddenly heard the Scottish accent. .

The tone of the film is gloomy, and the first two episodes have many characters. Basically, all the people involved have been explained from the beginning of the murder case, and the characters are very distinct. Everyone seems to hide their own little secrets behind them. Everyone seems to have a motive for murder.

The story progresses slowly one episode after another. Basically, the plot is just when everyone thinks each other is the murderer. The mutual suspicion of each other continues to spread, and the entanglements and trivial matters of each character gradually add extra points to their suspicions. The length is short but the third I still feel that the episode is a bit procrastinated, and the ending is a little rushed, but it is also surprising enough. The layers of fog in front of it disappear in an instant.
The ending was unbearable, and I must admit I didn't expect it at all.


In fact, although this film is about suspense, it actually relies on the search for the word family. The policewoman's line does not help the main case very much, and the highlight of the policewoman's character seems to be all for the last airport. For a moment, although I personally think that paragraph is very good, it is a good footnote to reality and the law, but I really think that it will be better to let the two police officers do the detective work in a down-to-earth manner. Secondly, a homeless person can suddenly be stopped and asked to buy a murderer to kill, which is also a thing that I can't understand. Isn't buying a murderer a very secret and professional thing?

"One of us" reminds me of another American drama "Murder" that I have been thinking about so far. The same layers are stripped in, the same cool tones, the same story about family, redemption, love, and sins in the name of love. But obviously, I prefer the plot of "Murder". In comparison, "No One Survives" is still a little thin.

Finally, in the final revealing part of the play, I personally feel that the plot is not enough for the exploration of motives. In my opinion, life is the most precious and inviolable, but the blurred boundary between evil and good, for an adult, How can the world have such a clear motivation to distinguish right from wrong in life and death? Although the pain in the family relationship is very real, it is not deep enough for me to accept the motive for murder. Maybe it has something to do with my non-religion. I can understand religion. But can't convince me to agree.
In addition, another feeling is that cowardice is really one of the greatest sins for men, and it will drag the problem deeper and deeper.

At the end is a hand-held video, the camera is the confession of the newlyweds, at that moment jumped out of the feeling of watching the drama, and felt distressed.

Recommended language: The film is a bit procrastinated, it is a immersive script, the acting and plot are good, but watching in multiple episodes will make you feel a little disconnected from the movie. Those who are looking for excitement and puzzle solving will be disappointed, and it is suitable for a one-time reading on a weekend.
