Synopsis
A man (Jim Caviezel) wakes up in a huge, messy warehouse.
He looked around, and there were other unconscious people in the warehouse, but some were bound and some were handcuffed.
The man ran to the door, but the door was closed, and it was equipped with a combination lock, which could not be opened at all.
The windows on the side were also sealed, and the entire warehouse was like a secret room.
The man couldn't remember who he was, and he turned back to check on a few others, hoping to find some clues that might help his memory.
The one who was handcuffed actually had a gunshot wound on his shoulder, which made him extremely frightened. What the hell happened here?
The man searched the warehouse, and there was no one in it, and at this moment, a phone call came from the room.
After hesitating again and again, the man answered the phone.
The man's instinctive reaction was to lie that Woz had gone to the bathroom.
The other end of the phone asked again if it was Brockman.
To avoid arousing suspicion, the man could only say that he was Brockman.
Fortunately, in addition to asking about the situation here, the caller quickly hung up.
Based on the information on the phone, the man judged that Woz and Brockman were with the caller and were not good people.
After a while, everyone in the warehouse woke up one after another, but everyone seemed to have lost their memory.
And in this case, no one can trust anyone, only beware of each other.
Through a newspaper of the day, they finally know the truth.
It turned out that the local rich Coles and McCain were kidnapped here, and they were among them, and the remaining people should be the gangsters who took care of them.
Everyone began to intrigue, and everyone believed that they were the "good guy" who was kidnapped.
As time passed, their memories began to gradually recover.
Surprisingly, after everyone knew who they were, whether they were gangsters or good people, they didn't fight.
Instead, they decided to make a concerted effort to escape together...
Video Analysis
A small-cost Battle in the Chamber of Secrets, I recommended it because I was very impressed after watching it back then, and I wondered why the score was not high. But now, it is true that the film has some problems in all aspects, but it is still worth watching for fans of suspense movies.
In fact, if you just look at the surface, the content of the film is already rich enough, suspense, thriller, reversal, humanity, all elements, but I think the director's way of mixing these elements together is too simple, and does not play a role of 1+1 greater than 2 Effect. For example, the film uses a two-line narrative to try to bring a sense of urgency to the audience, but this operation greatly reduces the suspense. It may be better if the whole film starts from the perspective of the secret room.
There is also the reversal of the ending, which is indeed surprising enough, but it gives me the feeling that it is a bit of a continuation of the dog's tail. Because from the pattern of the film, it is obvious that human nature is to be explored through a kidnapping case, and the setting of amnesia is very novel. Is it true that the wicked also want to be a good person? But the ending is a bit superfluous, giving people a feeling that whatever the screenwriter wants to make up is reasonable. I always think that the reversal must be based on the foundation of the plot to be enjoyable enough.
Of course, there are many advantages of the film, such as good enough characterization and very clever character settings, which makes the dramatic tension strong, and we are eager to know what happened next. The male protagonist and the short-haired male are rational characters. They are more inclined to solve problems rationally through analysis, so they naturally become a group. Brunettes and bald men with broken noses are more impulsive and more emotional. I believe that if we encounter such a situation, we will also hope to team up with the male protagonist.
And the interesting thing is that not all who look like good people are good people, and those who look like bad people are not all bad people, so when everyone remembers their identities, it is worth seeing how to choose. In the process of watching the movie, I would think, maybe there are some bad people who are not bad by nature, maybe they really took the wrong path in life, just like Liu Jianming in "Infernal Affairs", but It is often very difficult to go back after going the wrong way.
If there is regret medicine and life is reshuffled, I believe that those who were originally bad may also do charity, and those who were originally well-dressed may also show their other side. But at least in the movie, what I see is "at the beginning of human beings, their natures are good, their natures are similar, and their habits are far apart." When everyone loses their memory, everyone firmly believes that they are the good person, maybe be a good person , has a kind nature, which is the wish of all people, but sometimes the wish may not be realized.
A person's behavior is good or bad, has nothing to do with appearance and personality.
