Let's compliment the screenwriter What a brilliant idea! Try to figure out the mental process: what happens if a policeman and a criminal change faces -> It's interesting, but first of all, the two people need to have some connection, so let the criminal kill the policeman My son, the personal grievance between the police and the bandit sounds a bit vulgar, but it's not the point -> To let them meet so that the doctor can change their face, let the police catch the criminal first, well, it's better to have a big scene , stop him on the plane! -> wait, why are they changing faces, let me think...

Praise the director again: The director's rhythm control ability is very good, sometimes relaxed and sometimes tense, it belongs to the kind of action movie that can be watched with relatives and friends with peace of mind, but at the same time, the director also has perfect requirements for details, grasping the emotions. Reasonable is far more important than the reasonableness of the plot. I like the kiss after the long-awaited face-changing. This kiss is the wife's trust in her husband and the archer's self-acceptance. The audience also relaxes, which is perfect for the climax and ending of the film.

In a sense, this is a film about self-knowledge. Did he enjoy a little of his pleasure after taking a glass of drugs after years of unforgiving himself. Facing the person he killed with his own hands, the younger sister called him Dad, did he find a little bit of his conscience?

    Just like Wong Kar Wai’s Blueberry Night and Chongqing Forest, foreign ones can never surpass the prototype. After all, factors such as Chinese and foreign cultural environments are very different, so it is awkward to look at the version that was moved abroad. I think Westerners are far less than us. Infatuation, it's not that serious
