The story doesn't stand up to scrutiny

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!

    In line with all the commercial films, sportsmen, beautiful women, high IQ, crime, fighting, speeding, bad guys die, good guys hold beautiful people back + huge bills It's a very serious commercial film, don't ask too much, but the actors perform very rubbish soundtracks and rubbish scene handling, and the general story tells us that we should not only have brains but also skills.

    The story as a whole is well connected, but a common problem with movies adapted from novels is that sometimes the explanation is unclear... In the end, the ending of holding the beauty and returning to the money is not bad, hahaha~
