A woman who likes to complicate things and is a little brainless and unsympathetic?

This film gave me the feeling that the director's shooting techniques and skills are not bad. From the switching of shots, the overall plot coherence, dubbing, and connection are all OK.
It's just that there are too many loopholes in the content of the plot, and the original simple things are complicated by the heroine.
In fact, there are many ways to survive in the house. There are many ways to negotiate with the gangsters using the camera and the microphone. For example, you can make them disappear, leave the house or come back tomorrow, after she and her daughter leave the house and come back, give them the videotape or something. There are too many ways, because they just want to run for their lives, and the gangsters want money, which is easy to solve.
In addition, when the police knocked on the door, the woman also complicated the problem. Is it interesting for the audience to watch? ? The heartbreak we watched was not because of the plot but because I really wanted to go up and slap that girl twice. She knew that the camera could not record the speech outside, she could talk to the police about the situation inside, and then let the police control her expression to cooperate with her, so that the gangsters thought she was "dealing" or "driving away" them.
Plus, after she smashed the camera, she could go to the street for help. Because the bandits can't see her anymore! ! ! I'm dizzy! Damn, the police's experience in handling cases is not rich enough for you? Don't you trust the police?
And there's more. . She had a gun in her hand after her fight with the gangsters, and this was the time for the easiest solution. She can use the security system to talk to the gangsters in the secret room, negotiate with them, let them take the money and go away, because the gun is in her hand, the right to speak is hers, and she doesn't want the money, it's easy to get Problem solved. Don't tell me that if you shoot like this, you won't be able to shoot later? Then this is a matter of the director's arrangement, and it can't be used as an excuse for not being able to make a film.
The plot is too easy for the audience to have other ways, and some details are not explained.
At the end of the film, what made me unhappy was that the heroine had no sympathy and did not know how to be grateful. I'll go! The black man saved your life and your daughter's life, not only did she not thank him, but she didn't speak for the black man when he was arrested. I thought the director gave the heroine a face in the last scene to tell her: "Don't shoot, he saved us." Who knew that scene was to show the heroine's panic at the beginning of the film again, as if there was something in her heart Weird psychological expressions such as the secret to tell someone, but the whole film does not say why she is a nervous person! ! Really puzzling expression! I feel a little redundant. Since there is no explanation for her mental illness such as room phobia, don't add extra expressions to make the audience guess without clue!
