Acting online, the film is average

I give this film a maximum of 6.5 points. This contains two parts, one is the performance of the male lead James, and the other part is the stunning performance of the female lead. In fact, the heroine is not a standard beauty, but just a kind of beauty illusioned under the specific light and shadow of a specific environment and a specific expression. The male protagonist has always been online, and he hasn't performed super-level. Sometimes it is difficult for us to evaluate foreign actors accurately. Because to be honest, you can't tell who among these more famous actors is good at acting. That's because our overall perception of a foreign country is vague, and most people think that the foreign country where the performance comes from is a foreign country. Maybe people who live there for a long time can really feel the difference. Thinking about it this way, sometimes we are a little stricter on the actors in our country. Because we know too well. It is much more difficult for them to act. We can identify any minor violations and pretentiousness. Buckle on the actor's head.

Going back to the film, the overall structure and layout of the film, plus the original central theme, are not superior. Split personality is a theme that can account for half of suspense films, and it may account for more than 70% in our country. So the subject matter is not new. Let's talk about the story line. The stock market is led by two clues, one for the male lead and the other for the female lead. When the two lines finally meet, they will see the blue sky. It is also an old-fashioned method. And the two lines are not related at all, they are completely parallel, and I feel a bit loose when I look back at the whole film at the end. Inexplicably, it feels as if it’s just for the end of this one to push back and stunned to make up such a line or two. Moreover, the setting of the beasts is not too necessary, and the fission relationship between them and other personalities is not enough to be deducted. I think it is absolutely necessary not to compose so many kinds of personalities, but to make the fission and emotional entanglements of each personality and other personalities more sophisticated.

The significance of the existence of psychologists? This old lady of the psychologist, I believe, is to allow the audience to better understand the multiple personalities of the male protagonist, but the role is a bit far-fetched, and the death is too sloppy. It would be better if the psychologist was also compiled into one of the personalities.

    Claire Benoit: Jesus! We should fight him! We should drop a crazy-ass bomb on him!

    Casey Cooke: [quietly] I saw him carry one of you in here and lay you on the bed like you weighed nothing. One punch from him would knock one of us out.
