good suspense drama

"Before I Go To Sleep" is based on SJ Watson's best-selling psychological thriller "Don't Trust Anyone," about a woman who suffered a mysterious accident 20 years ago and ends up suffering from amnesia and wakes up every morning. I have no memory of my previous self. She tries to write down some mutilated memories in the form of a diary, only to find her husband Ben very suspicious.

I like the acting skills. Although the plot is a little scary, it is limited to the scene where the heroine is tense when 'BEN' enters the house. I guessed the reason for about half of it. Of course, it is still a happy ending, which is suitable for watching at night before going to bed. By the way, I only have one day's memory, which reminds me interestingly of the loli Shen Xi from Gu Jian Qi Tan Erli. Still very good to say.

    The actor + the queen = failure is almost an identity

    Some people compared this film to "Gone Girl". Still too far, although the latter, by David Fincher's standards, is not much better. But this movie was too anticlimactic, and it should have been designed to reverse in the end, but it ended like this. The first 90% are extremely gloomy, and the tone suddenly brightens at the end, for fear that the audience will not know that the bad guy has been defeated by the good guy.
