Think carefully

I watched half of it on the plane back from a business trip, and I couldn’t wait to finish the second half when I got home. The suspense of the plot is still very strong, and in addition to the kidnapping of children and the main line, small sub-lines pop up from time to time, making the brains of the viewers unable to stop.
After watching the film, I carefully watched some plot analysis and character analysis, only to see that each minor line very cleverly provided a lot of clues and metaphors for the rational explanation of the entire main line. Those plots that have passed by in the process of watching the movie can only be understood after such an in-depth analysis, and there is a feeling of "thinking and terrifying" when I want to come. This feeling is somewhat similar to the feeling when seeing that old lady is the ultimate boss and introducing her criminal psychology in an unusually inhuman manner.
After pondering the details, I feel that some parts of the plot are still a bit suspicious:
1. Since the mentally handicapped child is a major suspect, the police will definitely focus on searching where he lives. In addition, the two little girls should have been taken away in his car, but no clues (including fingerprints) were left on the car?
2. The line of the priest and the hidden door were really deliberately exposed;
3. After the first little girl escaped, the old lady faced a great risk of exposure, but before her father found it, there seemed to be no response and progress.

The suspense of the story itself is just a coat, and the core is still the projection and reflection of the inner world of different people on the outer world. The film is very good, but it seems that there are often times that make me creepy.

    Desperate from start to finish. All sorts of horrific lynching scenes. No hurricane life-saving rescue. The slow tempo is a minus point. An hour and a half is a miracle.

    Although the plot is dull and slow, but because the events reflected are more realistic, it can capture the hearts of the audience. I dare to say that without the participation of Jackman and Gyllenhaal, a considerable number of people would not be able to watch it. The film was supported by the superb acting skills of these two people, otherwise the audience would have lost patience. The gloomy and cold weather set off the atmosphere of the story very much. At the end, a hanging heart still couldn't let go, and it still felt heavy.
