The four of them followed Arthur to perform for a year. They were delicious, rich and famous, and they could abandon everything and risk their lives to complete the task. Given the sloppyness of previous drafts, such a loyalty rate is somewhat unrealistic.
The whole plan is quite complicated, and each performance requires an extremely large amount of behind-the-scenes work, just like the cards buried in a tree 18 years ago. Especially hypnotized all the victims who were refused compensation by Arthur Insurance Bank, and then divided 140 million on the spot. It takes quite a long time to investigate and implement the process. Omitting the process to directly show the results is a bit unconvincing. And the first magic trick to steal the Paris Credit Bank, Corona Security, replaced fake money. The security guard woke up and lost his memory? Will banknotes not be checked for warehousing?
And the hypnosis will be a bit bad if you use it too much. Every time when the task is impossible to achieve, it is found that the main person in charge is hypnotized. It's like a suspense film can't justify itself, and then it starts to be crazy. If hypnosis is so fascinating, if you want to get banker's money, and want to frame someone, you really don't need to spend so much time and effort.
Of course, the most powerful thing about the film is the final reversal. You can't let the number one enemy become an undercover. The undercover is often to weaken the big boss, and you told me directly in the end that the undercover is the most indomitable, the most jealous, and the most desperate. Complicating everything that can be simple is entirely to make the audience look cool. A good riddle is that you can't guess the answer without knowing the answer. When you know the answer, look at the surface of the riddle and there are hints everywhere. This will make people slam their feet and chest after the initiation, lamenting that they are not careful enough.
The magnificent picture of this film is indeed full of visual sense, but the more people's appetite is lifted, the more the feeling of stepping in the air at the end.
