In fact, the plot Neither is innovative. 10 people are locked on an island and kill each other, and one wins. This concept has already existed in "Battle Royale". However, this time the motivation changed from the personal hobby of the perverted teacher Takeshi Kitano to the cold-blooded director's pursuit of business interests regardless of morality and his girlfriend. Then the hero among the 10 death row prisoners is actually a retired soldier serving a sentence in Malaysia to protect the Pentagon's reputation. This concept has also appeared in "Prison in the Air", but this time the male protagonist is stronger than Nicolas Cage, fighting head-on A little more scene. It can only be said that the director's integration is better~
Finally, I despise the happy ending arranged by the director again! In reality, is it true that good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil? I'm afraid not! Or, if you're going to have a happy ending, why not punish the Pentagon? I carefully arranged for everyone involved to die...but it's also very happy~ The previous plot is a bit delayed. Maybe it needs to make the story more complete and better show people's psychological development process? However, it would be better if the so-called "game" process was more complete!
In a word, it is a commercial film that I think is profound, but fortunately, the plot is good enough to whet your appetite. Because it caters to the most popular draft psychology of today's public, among the 10 death row inmates, who are you most optimistic about?
