From starring to filming, soundtrack to details, all kinds of hints and foreshadowing, all are very carefully. As for the twist of the story, the thriller turns into science fiction, science fiction turns into juvenile delinquency, and it can be seen that the director has great ambitions, dares to make big news, dare to mix and match, I wanted to be different too much, but I came out with a pot of stew, but it still tasted strange. This time the innovation was a mess.

If you keep going with the usual thriller and crime movies, there is actually nothing wrong. The impoverished male protagonist spends his days fishing on a boat on a small island, always hoping to catch the coveted tuna king named "Justice", despite all kinds of ridicule, The male protagonist has always insisted that this is already a bit of the meaning of "The Old Man and the Sea". Suddenly, one day, the wife who had run away with the rich suddenly appeared, with all kinds of regrets and bitterness, hoping that the male protagonist would save the mother and son from fire and water, and then, or carefully designed and Carry out a perfect crime, kill a gangster rich with evil, a family of three reunites happily, or provoked a rich gangster, all kinds of intense action scenes of fighting wits and courage with the gang, and finally ends perfectly or perishes together. This kind of story is quite normal, and it's actually not bad.

The second narrative structure is completely realistic, focusing on the detection of a bizarre murder case. In the process of investigating the case, layers of silk and cocoons are peeled off, and the sad story of the boy's mother and son gradually emerges. This time, the boy with extraordinary IQ and eccentric personality is the protagonist. Now, the father died in Iraq, the mother and son were married to a scumbag man's house, and the mother and son were abused by domestic violence. The boy could only live by missing his father. In the end, he carefully planned to kill the scumbag stepfather. The story is also good.

The third narrative structure can be made into a sci-fi film. The magical genius boy made a human-computer interface game because he missed his father. In this virtual world, the boy's various ideas were realized, and even various digital characters began to influence changes. In the real world, because of the brilliance of fatherly love and the call of humanity, all the bad guys died, the world was saved, and the boy stepped out of his shadow and began to face life bravely. This story can also be made as wonderful as "Super Body", "Inception", and "Transcendence".

The fourth narrative structure is the "Terrorist Cruise" mode. Whether it is a parallel universe or a time reversal, as long as the screenwriter is attentive, it can be completely mysterious, brain-burning and terrifying.

The director of this film seems to want to mix the above-mentioned modes and innovate a new thing, because each of the above-mentioned types has a little bit in the film, and the result is a pot of strange stew.
