Predict future

I know this film because of teacher Li Xinpin's recommendation. Watched on youku, another movie starring Cage.

The story is about a magician with super powers that can predict what will happen to him in the next two minutes. Because of this, the police want to use him to help solve a case...

I like the scene in the casino at the beginning of the film, where a large group of casino security guards follow the instructions of the monitor to chase and intercept the magician. But because of the magician's super power, he knew which security guard would come to him when and from which side, so he could choose the most favorable route for him to escape. The whole process, without a head-on confrontation with a security guard, left them dazed. Finally, he walked out of the casino calmly.

Of course, there are some places that are relatively fake. For example, in a scene, the magician predicted that the other party was going to shoot, so he successfully avoided the other party's bullets. Please, you are not "Superman", just because you can predict the route of the bullet doesn't mean you can dodge the bullet!

And the magician himself said that when you predict something, if you adopt a different behavior, you will have a new prediction. This is like playing an RPG game, choosing different dialogues, the other party will have different reactions, which will lead to different game progress.

In addition, the way the end credits appear is also very elegant. Usually movie subtitles are from bottom to top, but this movie is from top to bottom. In short, it is a very special movie, and the heroine is also very hot.
