Bell is really amazing. He lost 57 pounds in 2 weeks. The male protagonist really feels like he has not slept for a year. In the end, the male protagonist finally fell asleep and made me feel a little sleepy. In fact, the film as a whole has always given people an uncomfortable feeling: the picture is always gray, and the red sports car driven by the male protagonist looks very dark; scenes including the male protagonist's home and factory are messy and dirty; at the beginning, the male protagonist washes his hands with bleach and uses a toothbrush Brushing the bathroom floor...but feeling uncomfortable is the director's success, and it's important for shaping the atmosphere. The first half of the plot is a little complicated and a little trivial, but fortunately, the details of the previous clues are strung together at the end. I feel that the ending is a bit rushed, and I really want to express my choice of self-salvation under the influence of guilt and self-blame, but compared to the previous paragraphs, it seems top-heavy, the ending develops too fast, and the answer to the question "who are you" is a bit perfunctory , or basically no answer. In general, the suspenseful atmosphere was created very successfully, especially the scene where the male protagonist almost broke his hand made me just take off the headphones. . . It's a mild thriller and suspense, but I like it a lot. In the end, the male protagonist chose to face it directly under the impetus of guilt. In real life, who does not have a "nightmare" in his heart that makes it difficult for us to fall asleep?
