Some people say that they guessed who number 1 is in the first 15 minutes, please, I can't guess. After seeing the end, it became clear, but I feel that this is a bigger suspense created by American TV dramas to create a horror effect, even if this suspense is a little bit unreasonable.
But another suspense is more important, and that is the true identity of Killer 13. I think this suspense is handled more brilliantly than "The Bourne". Because at the end of the film, we are still not sure whether at least one of the two versions of the protagonist is correct or both are wrong. This is very appetizing. The position of the deputy director of the Department of Homeland Security has not been finalized, so the story about the protagonist's identity he compiled is basically unreliable.
If there is a next episode, it will be an action movie of personal heroes opposing the road of totalitarianism.
There are basically no logical loopholes in the whole film. But there are indeed many unspoken places that readers should go to tact for themselves, even if it is more than three hours in length. Those that are not explicitly stated can sometimes make people feel that there are logistical contradictions, but I feel that this is the real situation, and political struggles are always complicated.
One of the visual weaknesses of this film is that there are too many random shots, even if it is only more than 20 meters away from the protagonist, the protagonist is still unharmed. Isn't this downgrading a good spy movie to a Hong Kong police movie? The spy only needs one shot, one shot, and that's enough.
