simple atypical

If you want to see gunfights, car chases, bed scenes, conspiracy theories, big bangs, you're bound to be disappointed. This movie about agents has few characters - no more than 15 characters combined, and only six with more than 10 lines. , Shao Bai - the words of the leading actor with the most dialogue in the whole play may not exceed 100 sentences, there are few scenes - either night or underground, dark holes, few plots - no conspiracy theories at all, single-line stories, few conflicts - —Two and a half games, still in semi-darkness. The whole movie can be said to be simple, even rudimentary.

But I personally think it's okay, there are few characters, enough is enough, the dialogue is less, what should be explained clearly, there are few scenes, just right, less plot and conflict, and the director does not have the ambition to set off a new climax of the spy movie.

All she can do is the tone and details. The tone of the movie is very depressing, the picture is dark, the main story takes place in the cold and vast Scottish Highlands, Cusack looks devastated by vicissitudes, and a man and a woman struggle to survive in a closed space... All the story should be explained. , After reading the background under the water, the viewer can also guess seven, seven or eight. The plot responds before and after, and there is no nonsense in the dialogue, which shows that the director has a solid foundation.

Since The Bourne Age, agent movies seem to favor agents who want to return to human life, and this movie is no exception. After executing the order to kill his old friend, the protagonist became depressed and was on the verge of collapse. He was exiled by the organization to a cryptographic station that didn't give a shit. It happened to be attacked by another group of agents, so he had to fight his wits and courage to escape.
It is especially tragic that another group of agents, like the protagonist, are outcasts of the same organization. They wanted to clear their identities but were hunted down by the organization, so they had to hijack the password station to issue a lore order for the former leader-this is the same root. What a hurry to fry. The similarity of identities and the intensity of conflict have blurred the boundaries between kindness and right and wrong, and strengthened moral entanglements, especially in the last 1VS1 dialogue. The two agents were clearly in the same situation and sympathized with each other, but they had to face off between life and death, which reminded me especially. To the "Look at us. Look at what they make you give." Clive Owen said before his death in "The Bourne" 1, "Look at us. Look at what they make you give." in "The Bourne" 3 "
And the final ending is also very similar to "Spy 1", a man and a woman began to escape. However, there should be no sequel
