It's less of a mystery, the movie is still worth watching

"Psychic Detective" is a film that mixes suspense and thriller genres. The film tells the story of an old man who can see through the past and predict the future to assist the police detectives.

This kind of brain-opening film is not so new. After all, there have been many films about this kind of subject matter and content. Although there are many clever reversals in the film, it is not difficult for us to guess.

However, "Spiritual Detective" strengthens the elements of horror and horror. Although the frequently flashed horror scenes can easily arouse the audience's nerves, they cause the audience discomfort to a certain extent, and even appear disgusting.

The most important thing is that these pictures scattered the color of the film's suspense, and did not focus on telling a story with a complete closed loop and strict logic, which made the film suspect that "suspense is not enough to be thrilling enough".

Anthony Hopkins, who plays the psychic detective, is obviously a little old, and he seems to be more than enough to control this role. Except for a pair of eyes that can show his powerful acting skills, he is lacking in other aspects.

The villain of the film, the killer played by Colin Farrell, is a highlight of the film. After all, it is not easy to control this contradictory villain, because the original intention of killing is for the so-called "goodness", which is to reduce the suffering of terminally ill patients.

It is a pity that the film did not show Colin Farrell more personality, nor did it discuss too much about killing out of so-called good intentions, making the film reduced to a second-class work that was only tasted and lost. The tension it should have.

Of course, if the film can be less convoluted, or if the audience lowers some viewing requirements, "Spiritual Detective" is still a worth watching movie. Especially for a ticket like me that I bought at nine yuan and nine, the movie is still worth the price.

    On the surface, it is psychic, but it is actually philosophy. The debate between life and death, good and evil, leaves people speechless.

    "There in lies the truth about tragedies. They bring some people closer together, drive others apart." "Sometimes the greatest acts of love are the hardest acts to commit." "I have no interest in playing God. As far as his work is concerned, I'm not impressed.”
