As far as this movie is concerned, the plot is well arranged. Although the middle part is not so thrilling, but at the end, I still admire the director's layer-by-layer arrangement, drawing the end of the film and the story of the year like a cocoon.
I believe careful people will find that, in fact, from the very beginning, the director predicted Caroline's life. I remember that at the beginning of the film, Caroline's patient Tucker left behind a relic after his death. There was a key chain "live fast, die young" that appeared twice. It caught Caroline's attention the first time, and was finally caught by her. hang on the car. hinted at her life.
There is also a scene of Caroline looking back while sitting on the bus. At this time, she had just caught the escort advertisement in the newspaper. Someone was watching her from the camera, and she officially entered the trap.

The previous escorts have all gone, why is only Caroline staying? Don't forget that she also wanted to leave, but in the end her kindness and belief in saving people made her stay. Movies have always mirrored society. The good masses of the people are often used and plotted because of "justice, fairness, and justice". What is the reason? Are they not smart enough? Or is the road one foot high and the devil one foot high?
Caroline is kind and has good intentions, but unfortunately someone took advantage of this. However, if Caroline hadn't believed all of this herself, maybe she wouldn't have been swapped.
The reason why the manipulator is so powerful is to take advantage of the weakness of human nature, the curiosity of human beings. When Caroline realizes that she's the one they're really trying to frame, it's really chilling.

    The story tells us not to be nosy. It is too stupid to fill yourself with a sense of justice to save others. Who do you think you are? God? Save people? Save it!

    Believe it or not. I thought I had guessed the ending, but the ending still surprised me with "Fuck, it's okay".
