In the first 30-40 minutes or so, I was distracted, and I thought I would see a boring movie; but it seemed that the story was good, so I insisted on opening the small window and surfing the Internet while watching.

But from where the protagonist was attacked by the passenger, I quit the small window and went full screen. Then I focused on watching the end.

It's weird...it's not supposed to be a bad movie, but I did get distracted up front.

I watched it again later...and then I found out why...

①Actually, the script is very good.

Character design: The protagonist has a sense of hierarchy, and it is easy to handle with charm (the actors are not good enough), and the other characters are not too flat.

Plot: Mysteries are intertwined, with foreshadowing, climaxes, and setbacks. It's a very tight script and story with very little superfluous information.

So here comes the question...why doesn't it look good in the first place? (If you see it on TV, it will definitely change the channel)

②The clip is very flat.

I watched the first 30 minutes twice. There's a little climax here (the death of another air cop), but it doesn't seem to feel at all. And there is a lot of foreshadowing information here, which is not easy to deal with.

The editor's approach is to arrange all the information in an orderly manner and show it to the audience. He has almost no re-creation here, and he should have faithfully retold the plot of the script.

but! There's so much information here, and if it's cut and highlighted inappropriately, the audience will feel overwhelmed. They might turn the tables at this point.

The clip is faithful, but too flat to catch someone's eye in the first place.

Warning or improvement:

① Make the foreshadowing information interesting and detailed. Try to catch the audience's attention as early as possible.

②Try not to let the audience process too much information, but make sure that every piece of information is subtle and reversed. The story should be as simple as possible (no IQ play), but the twist is radical and meaningful.

ps: "The Skin of My Habitat" also has this problem. The story may be subtle and the narration unique enough, but the tone of the narrative at the beginning is too dull. It is not messy information, it is boring. Maybe it can be replaced by a boring method?

Well, I can sleep until 1 o'clock tomorrow morning~ Check in all night.

    The attempt of the airplane secret room remembers that I used it in the magazine puzzle in 2004. I didn’t expect that it has been filmed as a suspense film and I have also set up several red herrings in the same way as detective novels. It is a pity that the script was so ingenious and wasted a good theme. The story goes pretty well. Even Mnison cp is Miss Julianne Moore, cp deputy captain. This age match is worried about the age match, and the ribbon-handling feeling is very old, unlike the film made by the 70th generation director.

    3.5. The play is very short, the characterization is average, and they are all carried away by plot. The robbers’ story is beyond common sense.
