At first, I had a hunch that these two ruthless people would kill each other, but the male lead's refusal at first escaped my guess. Originally, I didn't understand how the relationship between the male and female lead developed so quickly. It turned out that they were each subject to other temptations. Money and freedom for Phyllis, exploiting loopholes and challenging strict laws and regulations for Neff, are all eager to try for a long time, not love at first sight.
The story explores human nature layer by layer. Phyllis can kill her husband, but she may not be able to kill Neff. When the plot reveals that Phyllis killed her husband's ex-wife, her cold-blooded self-interested nature is exposed, but in the end she is soft-hearted. Second shot, is the complexity of human nature. This time she fell in love with Neff, but who can say that she didn't kill her husband's ex-wife because she fell in love with her husband?
The lines are so good.
—Closer than that, Walter.
——I love you, too.
I would like to call it the most beautiful love story.
Keyes' passion for his career in the film is also moving, as Linus does in Sabrina's exposition of industry.
