The most tiring thriller

There is no doubt that Al Pacino's acting skills and charm are not to be chosen.
But in such a thriller, it is impossible to do it with the power of one person alone. The culprit is the director and screenwriter. Since the film contains the original novel, it is a bit unreasonable that it can be compiled like this.
The plot is slightly clichéd, but the key is that the so-called stylized editing makes people look tired. The lines are more tiring. The reason for improper translation cannot be ruled out.

In short, the impression of this movie is just one word "tired", which is definitely not as cool as Al Pacino's performance. The result is that the sense of horror is greatly reduced in the face of the unclear logical plot.

I seriously suspect that the romantic Pacino came to play this film purely for fun.

    This movie made a bunch of bells and whistles, speeding cars, gunfights, bombs, intimidation, and planting, but in the end, it had nothing to do with psychoanalysis. It really hurts Al Pacino.

    There are too many clues, and some are not clear.
