The Sucker

This is an undisputedly bad movie.

Let's talk about the bad parts first:
1. I doubt whether the flashback at the beginning was forced by the director to make time for it, and it didn't play any role at all.
2. As a movie with a length of only 80 minutes, is it a little procrastinating to use a quarter to explain those messy relationships between characters? Once again I have to suspect that the director is making up the time.
3. Before the first attack started, I had already guessed that the pregnant woman must be among the last survivors.
4. For the first time in the parking lot, watching aliens suck their brains up close, I don’t know why Mao is not scary at all, but a disgusting joy.
5. Since the apartment manager joined, every time they argue, I don't know they are arguing.
6. The grandmother feels inexplicable when she smokes there. In fact, the mood swings of the protagonists, except for fear and confusion, make people feel inexplicable. Well, the grandmother's tears don't count.
7. The apartment manager committed suicide there too deliberately.
8. The alien lying on the pregnant woman's body on the rooftop, is it QJ her or killing her?
9. The kiss when the young couple was sucked away...I don't want to talk about the god horse...|||
10. Ah, the power of love is really great!
11. There is an inexplicable joy in the whole film. Actually it's a comedy.
12. The aliens are all from Brother Xinchun, oh yeah~

but there are also some bright spots:
1. The little foreshadowing that the black man and Xiaomi made at the beginning was pretty good, which led to them having to drive a convertible and then be sucked away .
2. The basic love bite is so bright!
3. There is no magic horse in this play, so the audience doesn't need to think too much, just watch the people in the play being tortured, and then guess who will survive to the end.
4. I still like the perspective of small people surviving in disasters more than the US president saving the earth.

All in all, in terms of plot and overall level, this drama should not be called Skyline but Sucker.
Raise your hand in agreement.
