It's not a wonderful piece, but it's worth seeing. If you don’t understand it after reading it unfortunately, but are bewitched by its strange and cold atmosphere, you can read it a few more times. I seem to be like this. The first time I saw the unsubtitled version more than a year ago was completely asking for trouble. Under the condition of combining Chinese and English subtitles, there is still some criticism of the machine gun-like speech speed and the terminology of the drug industry. Fortunately, Brendan's truth reasoning is as the evildoer Laura said, 9 out of 10.
So here, starting with the beautiful and flower-like culprit Laura, retell the story. She joined a drug trafficking organization headed by the pin, a man in black. Some people in the school became buyers or got involved, such as Brad, who began to repeatedly provoke the male protagonist Brendan. (BTW, the long-haired man who fell into the mud after stabbing with a knife was caused by him. It belongs to the personal grievances between him and the protagonist and has nothing to do with this case.) The victim Emily is the former girlfriend of the protagonist Brendan. , "Abandoned the bright and cast the dark" due to unknown reasons, eager to become a member of the "organization", and successively had a relationship with the pin's thug Tug and the bad boy Dode who was later killed by a shot. The organization had a batch of goods, ten bricks (brick was the title, originally referring to a brick-like drug.), eight bricks were sold. Laura took the ninth block and got up and down, and a hapless kid sucked. She was afraid that the pin would be held accountable, so she blamed Emily, who was eager to join the organization but was innocent. So Emily, who was trapped before his death, asked Brendan for help, but gave up and didn't want to be entangled anymore. Later, the pin sent Tug to Qiaodong to meet with Emily at midnight that day, with the purpose of giving a lesson or asking for an explanation. But the insidious Laura saw the opportunity to kill someone with a knife. She advised Emily, who was pregnant, to tell Tug that she was pregnant with each other's child during the meeting, so as to make him feel relieved. In fact, she expected that this would cause Tug's panic and impulse. As expected, she killed Emily by Tug's hand, and there was no evidence for stealing the bricks. And the bad guy Dode witnessed Brendan hiding Emily's body after the incident, thinking that Brendan couldn't bear Em being pregnant with his child (as he thought), and killed the girl out of jealousy. The four met at the bridge cave. Dode claimed to know the truth and made some nonsense. He pointed the finger at Brendan, but it happened to coincide with Tug's murderous story, and the latter killed him in a rage. Seeing that everything is difficult to understand, Laura once again extended the evil hand to the last brick placed in the pin house, causing cannibalism among the gangs, and six people died. Fortunately, Brendan discovered everything. The brick found in Laura's wardrobe will become her evidence. And the real father of Emily's child, Brenda was told by Laura, it was herself.
After clarifying the truth, although the recollection plot is getting better, it seems that it lacks the necessary foreshadowing. Especially the femme fatale Laura, who blindly showed her love to Brendan halfway through, did not leave any key clues.
It is difficult to pay attention to details in the process of thinking highly operational. But there is an impression that Brendan's conversation with the principal and the like in the office, the character shot is always a high angle shot from the back. Can't tell why, just ask the director what his intentions are. By the way, this is a debut feature film.
Also, a set of five posters in this film are unique.

    After watching it twice, I basically understand. This movie is suitable for watching alone in bed at night. But I obviously watched it for the inexplicable and friendly Joseph, like my first love, but he was beaten every three days and his nose was bruised, so I really didn't know whether to be happy or not...

    4.5 If you like "Suzhou River", you like the swaying footage inside, and the divine editing, but you don't want to be so pretentious, really, hurry up and watch it! ! !
