I finally watched this classic work by Buster Keaton. It combines various elements into one, and the filming is so interesting. Keaton's consistent style of personal combat is very powerful, and all kinds of train chase scenes are perfectly scheduled. , the rhythm is also perfectly arranged, as well as the final battle, there are several scenes that are very spectacular. Truly one of the best masterpieces of the silent film era. 9.5 points★★★★☆
