When I first saw it, I felt that the development of the plot was a bit abrupt, and various fierce conflicts were ushered in without sufficient preparation of the character's personality; and many clues, such as FBI and tape, were not used well. But after reading everyone's analysis, I suddenly realized that these cultural elements are allusions to the 1960s. But even if you have relevant background knowledge, you can only guess the event or person involved from the clues given by the director, that is, only to identify this level. As for whether there are deep connotations under these symbols? I'm afraid not much. You can spend more pen and ink on the characters, and use more events or inner activities to describe them in detail. The scene where the agent rescues the kidnapped sister has the meaning of humanistic care, but the plot development is unreasonable. The professionalism of the agent was perfectly displayed when he took down the wiretap, so I can't understand why he took the box lunch so quickly when he rescued the hostages. The irrationality of the sister's paragraph is that her sister acted like a mentally abnormal person. Maybe it would be better to give a little more description? She feels like a time bomb otz. Of course, gathering so many clues in a confined space like a hotel with special meaning is indeed quite a novel operation.
The script is good, but advancing too fast is not natural enough.
