Characterization is very failed, logical reasoning is confusing

At the beginning of this film, a short story was used to reflect the protagonist's pursuit of perfection, and the action of stepping on shit and then stepping on a foot reflected the protagonist's unique style of doing things, because at the beginning he was a big detective, and stepping on shit here Action to enhance the protagonist again. In a small case of theft, the protagonist is packaged, but this small case does not reflect his wonderful logical reasoning ability at all. Later, the camera switched to everyone vying to make friends with the protagonist, looking at the protagonist's adoring eyes, further packaging the protagonist, and enhancing the protagonist's character, just to make the audience feel that the protagonist is a great detective, and he can definitely solve the case that happens later. The protagonist does not have a ticket at all, and indeed asks a friend in a superior position through nepotism to get a comfortable sleeper ticket. As a good detective who abides by the law and defends the law, he will gain privileges by unruly means. When the friend and the train management quarrel, There are also shows everywhere, and from here on, this film is a piece of garbage. The appearance of Depp also had some expectations for this film. As a result, the subsequent events were very messy, logical reasoning was chaotic, and a large number of long shots did not show a suspenseful and tense atmosphere. Every time the protagonist talks to the other suspects, there is no need for suspects. What to say, the protagonist can deduce the historical background of the suspect or debunk the lies of the suspect. The narrative becomes debunking the suspect's lies, a little reasoning, and then connecting each person to a previous case. Eighty percent of the film is utter rubbish. Finally, I want to tell the propositions of law and philosophy of justice through narration, not to let the audience think through film techniques at all. The suspense is not tense, the reasoning is not rigorous, the story is chaotic, and the protagonist's acting skills are bad, so Depp's performance is still outstanding, and several heroines are very beautiful, and the rest are garbage.

    I can see some ingenious mirror movements and careful choreography, but the overall feeling is that the director + the male lead is narcissistic. There are a lot of familiar faces, but they are not as dazzling as your Depp's performance at the level of raspberry.
