It's not important to guess the culprit behind the scenes, the development baseline and authenticity of various events in the story are the essence of this movie

1. In the film, the cripple deliberately beautifies the character of Keaton in the eyes of the "weak", but instead makes the police more paranoid that his judgment is correct - Keaton is the mastermind behind the scenes. In order to convince the police, the ship battle details in the second half of the film are mostly fictional.

2. The biggest feeling about this film is that it is possible to directly guess who is behind the scenes in advance, and it is rare to know whether the characters in the various events described in the film are real or not, and to clarify the development baseline of the story.

3. The ability of the director to tell the story is worthy of recognition, and the performance of the cripple in the play is worthy of recognition. As a suspense film in 1995, the combination of flashbacks and interludes, as well as the reversal of the ending, provides a reference for subsequent suspense films.

4. When watching this film, people often mention "Wu Shuang" on the barrage, and I have time to watch it.
