Compared with "The Butterfly Effect", the film can't stand scrutiny. The future heralded by the male protagonist is the future in which he saves the world by himself. When the male protagonist wakes up with his memory removed, the real future is that the male protagonist is already in the police station. If he was killed once, even if he was lucky enough to escape, the next subway chase, car chase, etc. N times of chase, could it be that the original future male protagonist could survive N times without the reminder of these small objects? It is simply impossible! Therefore, the male protagonist finally foreshadowed that he had a shot in the chest, which does not exist at all. It does not exist. How can he set an alarm clock to remind him? Unless all this is deduced by the male protagonist step by step, then it can only be said that the male protagonist is a god Now, more Sherlock Holmes than Sherlock Holmes!
Although the film has not passed the scrutiny, the twenty small objects in it are used as clues to guide the development of the film, which is also considered a creative idea. If it is not true, it is still worth watching!

    6.1 It was only when I realized that John Woo was so "Hollywood", he took the details: 20 items, a woman's words "you don't want to have another try? give up so easy?" to the extreme, but it was quickly seen through. Suddenly feel that all about predicting the future is a copy of the Greek Oedipus mythology

    It would be a tragedy for Jon Wu to encounter this kind of book that requires some brains and wants to convey some ideas.
