In this film, Lao Pa interprets another kind of conscience. It's not all about lying or not. It's about principles and truth. In the past, Dormer didn't lose sleep when he faked evidence to put the murderer in jail. However, when he killed a colleague by mistake and was threatened by Finch to exonerate him, he couldn't sleep at night. If at first it was the sunless nights in Alaska and the pressure of work that prevented him from sleeping, then later he was tortured by the cricket called "Conscience".
To be honest, watching Lao Pa play a role that is struggling for justice is not as enjoyable as a role like a cold-blooded hero. However, the atmosphere of both good and evil still came out. And Lao Luo's murderer image is also in place. In addition, it was quite refreshing when Swank played a small town policewoman at that time. It's a little bit incompatible with the image of the female boxer behind the seal.
The language of the film is perfect. In particular, the close-up of the blood-stained fibers in the title sequence. And at the beginning, small planes fly alone over the forests of Alaska's Cool Mountains. A feeling of fearful repression and a cold sense of alienation was put on the table from the very beginning. Sets the tone for the entire film.
