I watched it yesterday, because I liked it very much, I couldn't help but leave a few words today.
The director of the film, Roger Michel, is an Englishman. He filmed the romantic [Notting Hill] about ten years ago. Ten years later, he released this thrilling [Line Change Life], a great film. !
First of all, the theme is good. There is a bad side in human beings, and when you achieve other people's hell, you cannot enter heaven! The story is not complicated. It tells two men, a middle-aged black man, an insurance salesman. A young white lawyer with a vigorous outlook. This morning, the two people smashed on the highway. It was not a big car accident, but from the beginning, the two people fell into a devil-like desperate entanglement. The evil side of nature gradually emerged, and they both became each other's. Hell...Especially in the scene in the church, Xiaoben did not wake up in the confessional, but returned to the office of the law firm. The young man who came for the interview suddenly looked back and saw the original self...
Secondly, the rhythm is good. The plot is compact and extremely catching. Although there is no bloody scene, it is enough to attract people to hold their breath and thrill the two protagonists' behavior, disposition and thinking... I think this is a film that is different from other thrillers-it In exposing the evil nature of man, it is indeed sensational!
Again, the characters are good. The cast is neat, the main actors can be called acting, the delicate and precise of the small book, the rich layering and tension of Samuel, the helplessness of the two parties’ wives, the helplessness of the lawyer’s lover, the cunning of the lawyer’s father-in-law, the cynicism of the hacker, and other times The performances of important roles are also remarkable.
Finally, the lens is good. It's extremely clean and neat, without any muddles, you can look at it intently, for fear of missing it, because it doesn't have an extra shot or scene at all.
It's been a long time since this superb work! Very enjoyable!
If you are a little bit hypocritical, the ending falls a little bit into Hollywood stereotypes. Xiaoben's salvation finally came to fruition.

    To be convenient with others is to be convenient to oneself; to properly handle any small matter, otherwise small troubles will become big troubles.

    Life is often a chance encounter, and no one knows which chance encounter finally made us see ourselves more clearly and think about our current life and status quo. Don't annihilate that ray of light in human nature. Let me do it with a clear conscience.
