A confined space, five injured men, amnesia, can't tell the difference between enemy and me, escape? Don't run away? is a problem.

Using memory to make articles has become a classic theme of thrillers, and too many stories can happen in the process of finding and splicing memories. This film is also about amnesia. Several people need to use some memory fragments to make the most favorable judgment for themselves in a short period of time. Outside are the robbers who are about to return. Several people in the room are fighting to escape and at the same time they have to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy.

This struggling process is undoubtedly the core of the film, and the psychological description of the characters is particularly important at this time. As the poisonous gas dissipates, his memory will gradually recover. Even if he knows who he is, he still needs to make judgments about the people around him. Everyone wants to take the initiative, but the reality that they can't escape makes them have to temporarily unite to stop. In fact, for the audience, the more they can't guess, the more suspenseful and beautiful they will be. At this time, they are willing to be "played" by the director.

Personally, I feel that the ending of this film is both good and bad. In fact, from the moment the kidnappers returned to the warehouse, the content after that is very bad, full of flaws, and it is impossible to justify it. But the final big reversal is really the finishing touch. The actor's identity, which was already unexpected, was once again surprisingly transformed. It can be said that no one could have predicted this ending. It is a classic, and it is completely connected to the changes in the psychological activities of the previous male protagonists and the instincts reflected by human nature.

To sum up, even if there is a small unfinished part in the middle, this ending is worth watching this film.
