Sean, Jimmy, Day...

When the cement floor appeared again at the end of the film, the unfinished david made me suddenly very sad. There is no such thing as a general suspense film, where the murderer is caught, and then a happy ending, what has passed will never come back. What is even more emotional is that it seems that everyone is at fault, but after thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is nothing wrong.
Jimmy, as a father, used to be the father of the underworld. The tragic death of his daughter, all the evidence points to David, even David's wife thinks so, so what is there to doubt? There is evidence, there is time, and finally even the motive. After all, there can't be such a coincidence in the world, right? As a father, he said that he would kill the murderer with his own hands. But after all, there is not enough evidence. One day, just waiting for one day...
David, a poor and pathetic coward. The shadow of childhood misfortune shrouded his life, and it was difficult to tell his wife and children the past. He was weak, he was timid, he dared not tell the truth. But for the sake of the police and even his wife already suspecting him, it was he who didn't tell the truth.
Celeste, a silly woman. Seeing her husband come back covered in blood at night, it happened that Jimmy's daughter was killed again, and the husband couldn't explain it. She lied, was afraid, went to the tall and mighty Jimmy to cry, but did not consider the consequences. Compared to Anna, how stupid she is and how distrustful of her husband. Just leaving endless regrets.

Everyone seems to have done nothing wrong, Katie's death was an accident, it happened. But this group of people who did nothing wrong, inexplicably killed David too.
Suddenly thought of the last conversation between Jimmy and Sean.
"Maybe we all got in that car and couldn't get out of that cellar."
