literary crime film

Except for the rather bloody ending (I really can't stand this kind of drama where little people jump out of the show and reverse the ending), although the previous plot of the film is not particularly outstanding, it is a crime film with a slightly literary accent. It's rare, but you can still watch it if you like it.

I really like the heroine, especially the one who appears in the poster in the film. She is not so beautiful and sexy, but she has a charm that makes people unable to stop their eyes. Especially the way she smiles.

In this film, there is a scene where the male protagonist takes the female protagonist to avoid the paparazzi's tracking and go to the villa in the suburbs. I like the color and shooting style used by the director at that time, especially the female protagonist stood on the steps and handed the coffee to the male. The main picture, if the criminal element is aside, the film at this time is really full of literary and artistic sense, and the rendering is in place.

For the ending that I didn't like very much, perhaps, there was also the director's own intentions, for example, to show a sinful reincarnation, or to retaliate for the male protagonist's soft-hearted irony... I don't know, at the end of him When I got down, what were those eyes looking up at the sky thinking? Are you thinking about the lonely woman who is waiting for him in the distance? Do you want to say to her, "Sorry...bye..."
