Nothing extraordinary

Scary enough. To be honest, I may be biased. I don't like this movie very much. First of all, this movie is not rigorous at all as a movie with suspenseful reasoning elements. The movie can be regarded as a small name. But the quality did not meet my expectations.

First of all, there are a lot of illogical things in the movie:

A. About the police. It is very unreasonable for the police to disclose the details of the case to unrelated persons (doctors) and to hunt down the suspects in extremely dangerous and vicious serial homicides without making any preparations. The scum shots of the two policemen in the shootout of the film are really ridiculous.

B. About the doctor. After staying in the same room for a few hours, the surgeon did not find the criminal who "holded his breath and suspended his breath" (I believe many people wondered whether the "corpse" was really dead at the beginning of the movie), and how many people were awake It's hard to stay motionless while secretly observing when you are young, and it's even impossible to hide your breath from two nervous adults. Not to mention that the villain has driven several agencies. The climax of the film is that the doctor breaks his foot to survive, but the bones are not so easy to saw. The doctor should spend a few more hours sawing the shackles or fishing a few centimeters away with a shirt. It is a very obvious better choice. .

C. Speaking of nursing staff, I am disgusted with this "chronic poison in the blood" segment. Due to individual differences in humans, this poison can hardly be punctual without affecting the normal survival of people. Moreover, the caregiver was only injected with the so-called "chronic poison." He was free to move, but he did not try to detoxify or ask the police and others for help. Instead, he became an accomplice willingly and without explanation. It is also very puzzling.

D. According to the footage, the doctor's wife has seized the pistol and has the initiative. I don't know why she didn't shoot and wound the nurse? In the end, he was even seized by the criminal again and escaped. The plot of this movie is as casual as deliberately letting off criminals.

The movie score is already high. You have to use a high-scoring movie standard to evaluate it. But delve a little deeper. The film lacks even basic logic. The high score may be due to the "unease" it spreads in people's minds.

The film's values ​​do have a certain meaning. The main discussion is the "evil of human nature" view of sacrificing others to perfect oneself. The significance of human experimentation and reference. But the end is sublimated by force and is confusing. The "cherish life" in the jigsaw's mouth is really wrong. The victim's fault in the movie is not an unpardonable capital crime. Doctors and paparazzi also do not have evidence and manifestations of "not cherishing life". It's just ordinary people. The so-called cherishing life is just a murder excuse to complete the abnormal game.

I believe that most people don't like the "despair" of "human cannibalism", it has nothing to do with whether you have experienced this kind of despair and how you choose in this situation. The film overemphasizes a moral despair of "no other options". And most of the time, there is no such a pervert who forces you to hurt others. When the bloody gimmick seriously overshadows the purpose of the film’s "Social Experimental Demonstration". One has to make people wonder: Is this movie filmed for perverted murderers or for ordinary audiences?
