On the surface, it makes me feel that the director really wants to play this film well, but unfortunately he is unable to do so.
The tense and hurried atmosphere is still there, but I really can't feel any logic, it's like ignorantly hiding from the cat.
And there are many loopholes and puzzles.
Why didn't they kill him that night?
Why kept knocking on their door at the door?
If you don't want to kill them, why pretend to kill them?
They fled into the room, and the gangsters at the door pretended to be unable to get in and kill them.

The most ridiculous thing is that this is the boss's hotel. The boss has a spare key for the room, right?
Even if it's ridiculous that the boss doesn't have a spare key to the room, then there is a window next to the door, so you can get in by grabbing the door. Why does the whole situation have to make the gangster want to rush into the room to kill, but because he can't enter the room, he kills him. No one?

There is a camera in the room, why didn't the male protagonist break the camera, oh~~~ That's because the gangsters will see what they are doing in the room, and the gangsters won't enter the room and kill them. If that's the case, why did they go out from the tunnel to the boss's room, which is all equipped with camera surveillance videos, but there was no one inside? Just now, he told his wife to stand in that position not to move, then he entered the tunnel, and then went to the surveillance room, but there was no one in the surveillance room, so did the gangster go to eat mutton hot pot? No motivation, no process. baffling. A lousy film with no connotation at all!
