In addition to the ending, it is another Noir classic! Characterization, use of light, lines, lens language, and soundtrack completely reproduce the peak of "Blade Runner" in the 1980s. The most amazing work of 2011.

The third brush five years later, I have been reluctant to look at it for so many years. Just like the girl whom she admired when she was young, she was gentle and charming, she couldn't forget her love but she couldn't. Hit a three-star like a puff, and pick up some problems abruptly, as if you have regrets and shortcomings before you can leave some thoughts about it. This is indeed a poem-like noir film. It has the best visual appeal since NWR's career as a director. The light and shadow use cold and warm and vivid emotions, and the actors' performances are extremely delicate.
