Last year, "Wu Shuang" brought Hong Kong movies back to life, and the audience called the film's various reversals too enjoyable.
In fact, the routine of "Wushuang" has been played as early as 24 years ago, and this movie can be said to be the originator of the crime suspense film, the "Zhihu" of the film industry.
"The Very Suspect"
01 story
The timeline of a movie is simply a template for a suspense movie.
In the beginning, put the results up first. A man who fell injured and fell to the ground was called Keaton, and a man who couldn't see his face. Keaton called him "Kaiser". Then Kaiser set a fire and burned the boat.
Time quickly returned to 6 weeks ago. The US police were investigating a "gun truck robbery" case and arrested 5 suspects.
One is Keaton, who appeared at the beginning of the movie. He has worked as a policeman and an illegal businessman.
Mike and Finster, a pair of robbers.
Todd is good at blasting.
Roger, known as tuberculosis, has a leg disability. He was sentenced to probation for fraud and is currently on bail.
This looks like "Eleven Arhats", everyone has their own specialties, and they must form a team for a big meal.
After all the key figures appeared on the scene, the timeline returned to after the big ship exploded. Dave, a police officer who claimed to be the smartest police officer in the whole police station, arrested Roger and came back for questioning, hoping to learn from him the truth about the bombing of the ship.
Roger gave full play to his stubborn qualities at this time, starting from the "gun and truck robbery" case, and narrating the story of how the five people stepped into Kaiser's setting.
After coming out of the detention room, the five people only wanted to organize a group to rob jewelry, but they did not expect to become a murderer.
Originally wanted to wash his hands in the golden basin, he did not expect to be threatened by Kaiser to help him get on the ship to destroy 900 million worth of drugs.
Thinking that the drugs would be destroyed and leaving, I didn't expect to discover that it was a thief after boarding the ship. Kaiser wanted the group of five to kill a witness who could testify against him.
According to Hua Tuo's description, Kaiser is a big boss who is extremely cruel and even his relatives will not let go. Instead, they have become victims of forced crimes.

After the story is finished, viewers who don't want to be spoiled can close the article, and then it's all high-energy.
This story is full of stubborn rhetoric. Kaiser can't see his face the whole time. Who is he, or does he even exist? It has always been the suspenseful part of the film.
The director also arranged 3 auxiliary lines to increase the sense of tension.
The first is a witness who has seen Kaiser. While confessing to tuberculosis, the witnesses who survived the ship fire accident are doing identification puzzles! The two lines raced against each other, and finally the recognition line was one step late.
The second article, Dave's guidance. Because Dave had a prejudice against Keaton, he preconceived that Keaton was Kaiser, and threw the pot away to Keaton. If I hadn't watched "Wushuang" and firmly believed that TB is the big boss, I would really believe it. Say yes, are you the smartest police officer in the whole police station?
The third is the existence of lawyer Kobayashi. When Yu Tuo left the office under trial, Dave discovered that the names and the source of the paragraphs used in the stories that Yu Tuo told all came from newspaper clippings posted in the office. So are all things and all characters really fictitious? However, at the end of the movie, Kobayashi appeared. Although he is not a lawyer, I don't know, but it has proved that it is not a good lie to not carry a true lie.
03 blank
Compared with "The Very Suspect", "Wu Shuang", as a new era movie, increased the production of counterfeit bills, which opened the audience's eyes; and added gorgeous gunfighting scenes, which made the audience feel refreshed.
And even if you have never watched Wushuang and have an understanding of the suspected movie, it is estimated that Roger will be the big boss without seeing it in the end.
But as a movie 24 years ago, "The Very Suspect" was made like this, so what kind of motorcycle is needed.
I prefer the white space of this movie.
At the end of the movie, Roger walked on the road casually, his disabled leg gradually became normal, and finally got into the car driven by Lawyer Kobayashi. There is no big villain to explain the ins and outs of the story. The story is somewhat true and somewhat false, all by the audience's imagination.
04 Kevin Spacey
Kevin Spacey won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for this movie.
Although he has a lot of black material now, his acting skills in the movie are really impressive. In particular, Hua Tuan cried and said "Why me" that poor poor Yazi, no wonder the "smartest" police officer was sold and had to help count the money, frantically helping him to lie.
Corresponding to his unsteady holding of the lighter in the trial room, this scene is so handsome that the smoke is neatly placed. The director actually poked Kaiser's cigarette lighter posture at the beginning of the contrast cigarette lighter.
05 Satisfaction
Watching a suspenseful reasoning movie is the process of inferring the murderer and verifying the logic as the plot develops.
Although I guessed the murderer early after seeing this routine, I finally verified that I didn't guess wrong, and the sense of accomplishment is still great.
So the question is, who is the murderer of the "gun and truck robbed" case?
