classic suspense

When "All Evil Jade" ended, I found this classic movie when I flipped through the interviews with Xiaogang and Gao. Similar to "All Evil Jade", it has created a "fraud master" role in the villain (unfortunately, all Evil Jade is unfinished). The whole movie has a great look and feel, and the rhythm is ingenious. With the narration of the protagonist, the scenes alternate between the current interrogation room and the "past" story; Well done his mission.

After so many years of suspense movies, many routines have been figured out by discerning moviegoers, but the very suspects still have some ingenious settings that can surprise fans. For example, when I first entered the office, the camera scanned the room with the protagonist's line of sight, especially the clippings on the wall. At the end, it is found that the protagonist has compiled the story based on the information (Kobayashi, Wind Quartet...).

In addition, what moved me more was the "second sense" in the movie, the handsome setting. The legendary villain first killed his wife and children to remove the weakness after his wife was insulted, and then killed the worrying person; the villains were like homeless people on the cyberpunk streets looking for work to pick up work. This kind of bottom-level worldview, which is purely for money, fighting wits, and burning, killing, and looting, is not commendable, but it also has a kind of chivalrous spirit. Still great~
