More highlights, but less connection

The first thing to say is that the music is good and can arouse the emotions of the audience.
The second thing I want to say is that I don't see the point of the show. The film is divided into three parts, the first part is the hijacking of the press conference, the second part is Macau theft, and the third part is the big magic. The first part can be said to be an introduction, bringing the user into the context. In the second part, the magic stealing is a meme and brings a small climax, but unfortunately, the stealing magic itself has nothing to do with the third part of the big magic. In order to connect the big magic and the stealing magic, just add a few innocuous little characters to connect the two parts.
I can't say enough about each part, but each part is just awkwardly connected through small roles, without the interlocking surprise of the first part. If it is adapted into an American drama with an independent story, I think it should be a good film.
