Comment first:
The highlights are still there:
1. The rhythm and atmosphere are well grasped, the foreshadowing buried in the front can also be connected behind, and the first half of the story is full;
2. It is better to use a "dream" setting. When the first paragraph is a little tired, the second story appears, which is a little bit more breathable;
3. Open ending, echoing from beginning to end, abruptly ending, leaving room for imagination. But in fact, if the show really continues, it is very likely that there will be no way to end it, so it is very clever.

The routines are very similar to "The Butterfly Effect", but the routines used in popcorn movies have been tried and tested. This kind of brain-moving movie must have the atmosphere in that place, and then give the audience an unexpected punch. But when you see half of it or even at the beginning, you know the routine, and the rest of the audience can only barely swallow.
Sudden shock, combined with the sound effect, suddenly scare you; or there is a foreign object quietly approaching the back of the character in the defocused area; coupled with all kinds of blurred flesh and limbs, these common methods of horror movies are indeed effective, but they are really low-level. It’s as if you flew to Japan to buy the original adult CD, and found that the picture quality is worse than the one downloaded from the Internet.
Top-heavy, the true storyline of reality is hastily explained, with no rounding back.
The following analysis contains spoilers:
There will be some classic character settings in the movie script. For example, Captain Cris often pushes the development of the plot by giving orders, so such characters are usually decisive, calm, judgmental and persuasive, so that the thorns in the team can be obedient. But when he faced the attack of ghosts, he chose to close his eyes several times. This was actually an escape behavior, which was inconsistent with the human setting.
And Eugene's existence is equivalent to a "game guide", telling the captain what to do at a critical moment and telling everyone why. However, this film directly uses the setting of "knowing foreign languages and likes to read" to set up the character. The front only knows German, and the latter directly speaks Arabic, which is a bit tricky and lazy. When he first arrived at the villa, he pried the box in the basement but didn't open it, and there was no text behind it; in the second half, the captain found that his book was blank, and Eugene had a tendency to go black, but after this, everyone seemed to be like Nothing happened, and nothing happened. It's a bug.
The sniper Tappert is actually a good foreshadowing. He gave the jacket to the refugee mother and son in front, which shows that this person is still kind-hearted. But when the three of them discussed his past on the balcony, they could clearly feel that this person was about to turn black. But in the end, when they went to the next barn to remove the body, the sniper disappeared, and no one asked, which is a very strange place.
The only function of the muscle man is to make himself dying, and then die, and pass this point to the protagonist.
Besides, Kirk has no sense of existence at all, the meaning of his existence is to make up a five-person team and hold a pinch (hand over). Why five people? Because four people are prone to stalemate in two or two; if there are too few three people, it is easy to destroy the group.
The analogy between the Nazis and the Islamic State is very ingenious. They are equally brutal and inhumane, but the appearance of the Nazi squad in the first half is clueless; the Nazi soldiers in the middle looked at the door of the villa and were about to leave. What are they doing here? Do you want to show Pharaoh the house? Then a lot of people died quickly in the hands of four people (one was injured) because of the need for the plot, which is too hasty. They are evil, cruel, and devoid of conscience, but that doesn't mean they are fools.
If the above are all dreams, there is no need to consider any logic, then the story that happens in reality, the real story line of this film, is even less logical than the dream.
The protagonist wakes up in a medical institution, first frightened by himself and the people around him, and then calms down instantly. And in a place where technology is so advanced, he persuaded the medical staff that "there are ghosts in the world" in two sentences. As a medical staff who has received decades of professional scientific education, he agreed without thinking?
The whole mission in Afghanistan, I don't know why it gives people a very strong sense of sketches and variety shows. It's like a director pretending to be an actor, receiving information from the director through headphones and telling everyone what to do next.
The whole background looks very stiff. How could an undercover agent use it 4 times in a row? As long as people with normal IQs know that there must be a problem, why don't the undercover person and the upper management think so? Not only did you not make preparations for evacuation early, but you also found out that you were surrounded by the enemy for dozens of seconds? At this level, the protagonist team is really too unjustly killed and injured.
And the Islamic State soldiers sent three vehicles and nearly 20 people, and they slaughtered a family of four and two children without questioning or searching, and just left? what is this? Chaos evil?
In short, the second half is too hasty and hasty. If you can score 7 points in the first half, you can only score 4 points in the second half.
