"Mobile Murder": Only the first 40 minutes of killing are exciting

It's a pity that Angelina Jolie's chest was only exchanged for a Golden Raspberry Award for the worst actress nomination
. Let's talk about the characteristics of serial killers. The murderer is a twin. When I was a child, I always wanted to be loved by my mother, but my mother only saw his brother. When the spirit changes. Everyone he kills will smash his face, because his purpose is to replace the identity of the deceased, live the life of the deceased, until he gets tired of killing and changing his identity again.
The first 40 minutes are suspenseful enough. According to the chronological order, the murderer used a car accident to kill for the first time in 2016. During this period, he committed many crimes. Then the deceased at the construction site appeared in the film, and then another murderer reported the crime himself. He gave a portrait and led the police to the hotel to find a deceased again. At this time, he knew that Julie had understood his modus operandi. He used the portrait dealer to mislead Julie and tempt Julie. Then he killed his mother in the hospital to escape, and it was best to die. Julie's scissors (this part is a bit messy, you can skip it)
The movie is a suspense movie. My feeling is that I want to know an answer. In the end, I had to spare an extra large circle to finish hastily, especially the part where the case was closed in the middle. I don’t know what to say, Julie suddenly understood the murderer’s killing technique, and the love between Julie and the murderer did not have any obvious foreshadowing, It came too naturally. The most crashing thing is that the screenwriter has a double reversal. The first is that the murderer is Consta, which most audiences can guess. The second is that Julie's pregnancy is fake. This is purely for reversal. And the reverse, extremely blunt and without any skill.
Instead, it would be a better ending to have Julie be killed.
