The dedication of suspect X? !

It feels a bit like Higashino Keigo’s classic mystery novel "The Devotion of Suspect X", except for the processing of the ending, the overall framework and the direction of the story are extremely similar. The same is to protect the family (in the novel is a crush on a mother and daughter), to conceal the truth by misleading the police to determine the date of the crime, even including the male lead’s last hand, but the film has not reached that point, but I believe if When things are revealed, the male protagonist in the movie will definitely do the same.
Let's talk about the movie itself. The first half is slightly slower, and it would be better to compress it to two hours. Fortunately, there is no singing and dancing that is common in Indian movies. There is a passage where the family members are in various trances in the melancholic singing the day after the crime. I almost thought they were about to start dancing. Fortunately! fortunately!
The rigor of the script is still acceptable. However, there are a few details that make people doubtful. The first is the monitoring problem in India. Except for cash machines, is there no monitoring anywhere else? Now that the policewoman has been on the hook to suspect the cover of the male protagonist, and since the Indian police can accurately detect where the mobile phone signal has gone and where it has disappeared, at this level of technology, surveillance coverage in the city should be impossible. Only banks have it, at least there will always be one or two monitoring at intersections. A thorough investigation of what she suspected was that on the 2nd day, monitoring within the scope of the male protagonist's activities was definitely something she could do. If we must say that this is the status quo in India, we can only accept this setting for the time being.
The second is that everyone can't remember the exact time. This is a bit overly dramatic. There will always be some special things happening about themselves or others, so they can remember special time points. For example, diarrhea that day, quarreling with someone that day, lost my wallet that day, or even a bad mood that day. A person can obscure the date, but no one can remember it. It is impossible to justify the probability of being a male subjectively emphasizing the wrong date. You can't be regarded as a fool except yourself. Of course, everything is for the plot. It is acceptable to understand this point. Perhaps it is so coincidental. It is not impossible that every character in the evidence chain of the case spent an extremely mediocre day with no memory on that day.
Furthermore, the female police reasoned that the case was slightly false and lacked sufficient reason for suspicion and proceeded to open up the reasoning. When all the evidence showed that her suspicion was wrong, she lacked something that would strengthen the policewoman's inner skepticism to support her. If this inference made the bad policeman Gautude, it might be more reasonable. Although he is a bad policeman, his sensitivity as a policeman is good. For example, he deliberately said that he found a yellow car in a restaurant and then observed Vijay's reaction in the mirror. This, combined with the scene when he saw Vijay drive away the yellow car, is enough to make him make a slightly irrational reasoning like a policewoman. Unfortunately, the bad police in the movie is not set as the brain of the police team, just feels Let him make the reasoning so that it is more reasonable, personal sense only, don't spray if you don't like it.
However, it still does not prevent this from being a high-quality crime movie. To borrow from a netizen, does India have no General Administration of Lights? Ha ha

    7. Is it completely different from X's dedication? You can't say that to exonerate your lover is to sacrifice yourself, can I say that all the unsurvived are copying grandma? As far as the complete crime accomplished by the conspiracy is concerned, devotion is still in the nature, this work is more social, the whole style is like an old-fashioned writer like Matsumoto Kiyotaka, it is dense and quite satisfactory, and it lacks some shocking effects, but the ending is really true. The burial place is still pretty impressive.

    Holy crap, this film completely subverts my view of Indian movies, there is no singing and dancing, only a little soundtrack for a vague timeline in a certain 10 minutes. In the first hour, the character was cultivated, and in the next hour and a half, the male protagonist of Clive Owen took the lead and cried, inspiring movie fans like me. The female prosecutor's on-line makes the whole film IQ touching. The clips of the two back and forth reviewing the eyewitnesses are amazing. The end of the heart-to-heart talk and entering the police station are not unfinished at all. I encourage you to get a five-star.
