After watching it, I feel that I was played for 100 minutes by the director

I personally think that the most important thing about suspense films is rigor, because people who like this kind of films generally like to scrutinize the plot. If there is no basis for rigorous reasoning, no matter how good the plot and narrative techniques are, it will make people feel regretful.
More than half of the entire movie is the memory of the cripple. During the watching process, everyone tried to find Caesar's identity from the memory of the cripple. At the end, the director tells everyone that the cripple is the boss. Everyone hasn't recovered, because in the memories of the cripple, everyone felt that the cripple did not have the conditions to kill on the boat, and wanted to find the logic contradiction of the director from the memories of the cripple. Come on, don't think about it, these memories are all made up by the cripple. The director spent more than half of the time to show everyone the fictitious memories of the lame, not only wasted 100 minutes of brains, but also blocked everyone's mouth, in return, telling everyone that the lame is the boss at the end. The end of the whole world. The egg hurts, wtf, can't help but complain...
