.Sina Online Review)
Regardless of its form or content, "Chasing the Murderer" is full of vitality. The difference between this film and noir films such as "The Maltese Eagle" is that the film replaces the location of the incident from a dark corner of the city to a high school campus. Through a series of plump character images, the director skillfully transformed the clichés in high school campus movies into a detective world of villains, thugs and beautiful women. The film creates a shadowy suburban impression through a dramatic image style, using semi-dark and semi-dark lights in the basement to highlight the half-truth and inaccessible behind-the-scenes truth in the story. In addition, the rhythmic footage of the film also fits the irritable way of speaking of the characters in the film. In addition to stylized black humor lines, Joseph Gordon-Levitt successfully demonstrated the protagonist's indiscretion and fearlessness, and Harrison Ford's appearance as a big drug dealer in the film reminded the audience of the appearance of the vampire Nosferatu
