The film tells us: burglary is like opening the box of chocolates in Forrest Gump's hand. You don't have the wit of 007, the skills of male and female thieves, and the ferocity of professional criminals. Please don't burglary, because you don't know the sloppy low-key in the broken house. , How perverted and cruel is the seemingly harmless widower uncle!
Of course, if you have the wit of a 007, the skills of a male and female thief, and the ferocity of a professional criminal, you won't have to burglary.
Let's talk about the advantages first. The conception, shooting, rhythm, and performance of the film are quite good. The little thief who doesn't know the sky and the earth breaks into the house to steal and encounters the perverted owner's counter-kill, which completely breaks through the conventional routine and is very innovative. The thrilling atmosphere is well created, and the shooting of the characters in the dark environment is wonderful. It’s probably because of the low-light photography technology, which is far darker than the usual mess in the past, or the lighting doesn’t look like a night scene at all.
Not to mention the shortcomings. Because the advantages are indeed very prominent, the disadvantages are even more stuck in the throat, and it is not unpleasant to vomit.
One is that the characters of the three thieves are not very reasonable. If it is a new debut, the style should be sneaky, cautious and startled. Then it's reasonable to be chased by an old blind man in the back. But at the beginning of the film, the thieves were arrogant, stepped on the spot, lost the dog, entered the house, released chlorine gas, and broke the door. Obviously, they are several veteran criminals, and the arrogant and domineering are not afraid of the owner's waking up, which is completely the rhythm of robbery. Once the blind men woke up and started chasing them, they shouldn't appear defenseless.
I started to play, that is, the logic didn't feel right. After the blind old soldier wakes up, a few habitual criminals can turn the blind old man over no matter what, and then force out the safe and password. It's really unreasonable for a few repeat criminals to be chased by a blind man.
The second is that the female thief's white lotus is embarrassing. She should have died the most, but unfortunately she survived in the end. It's hard to accept.
The female thief didn't forget to steal the money when her boyfriend was headshot in front of her face and she couldn't protect herself, and she was possessed by the Virgin White Lotus to rescue the kidnapped girl. What kind of brain circuit is this? You escape first and then call the police, isn't it sweet?
The third is at the last moment, when the female thief's small universe suddenly broke out, turning over the perverted blind veteran alone. This reversal is really too big, and it completely blew me away.
Reasonable people are three amateur thieves, who have been lucky enough to get it before, and they started to swell, and they wanted to do something big. This time, it is also cautious, and it must meet the standard operations of the little thief. For example, repeatedly stepping on points, arguing, and retreating. The final entry is also a kind of careful operation. I just didn't expect that meeting a perverted blind veteran would definitely be a tough one. The old man set up various anti-theft agencies and turned the three thieves into mice in the cage, and then the nightmare of the three squirrels began.
