4 stars. It is not easy for the director to make such a simple and main story look good. The variety of high-tech monitoring equipment and the awesome sky eyes that appear inside are eye-opening. The question that the movie throws to the audience is very simple, similar to the train killing one person on one track and killing a group of people on the other, which way would you choose. Each character in the film has a different personality and point of view on this multiple-choice question. Perhaps the progress of human civilization is to think about this kind of issue, otherwise it only needs to look at the cold numbers.
