The editing of Edgar Wright's films is always so stylized, creative yet comfortable and natural, of course, the "noisy" soundtrack and excellent camerawork also give his debut feature a unique charm.

In terms of plot lines, new tricks have also been played in the continuous and continuous correspondence between each other.

As the earliest part of the trilogy, it has a kind of groundbreaking significance in terms of structure and subject matter, and it will surely provide reference and guidance for similar British popcorn action comedies in the future.

However, at the level of personal perception, this one has a similar problem with "Blood Detective"-perhaps it will make the audience feel that it is the same as the whole after experiencing this crazy uproar. At the end, the "humanity in desperation" in the face of the final disaster still seems a bit old and routine, just like the final suspect in "Blood Detective", there are a series of terrifying scenes on the way to solve the case, but because of maintaining The always bright rhythm of the film fails to fully build suspense, thus losing a lot of tension in the viewing process. The ending did not make the audience crazy and happy to the end, but it was a little regrettable, and the "good brother" who had been with the trilogy was also written.
