Perfect

For this movie, I give it a relatively high evaluation. Because from the very beginning, my positioning of this movie is a bloody anti-killing film. Just as in the introduction, a couple went to Hawaii for their honeymoon and met another couple. The two traveled together. I heard that there was a newlywed killer halfway through. , And then fall into a dangerous situation... Indeed, the routine of the introduction is completely the routine of anti-killing movies, the protagonist must encounter the killer, and finally the perfect anti-kill. With this thought in mind, I am going to follow the movie-watching experience in the past, without thinking about appreciating this naked killing scene.
But I was wrong. Until the film revealed the truth, I didn’t know who the murderer was and who killed who. The director cleverly used people’s inertial thinking to create blind spots. It is easy for us to take the first-view characters of the film as the protagonist. In horror films Zhong also took it for granted that they were good people. With this inertial thinking, I kept guessing that anyone except "good people" just fell into the pit. In this way, when the truth is revealed, the audience’s feelings are very impactful, because no one thinks that the "protagonist" turns out to be the murderer. The first half of the film takes the murderer as the first perspective, and the second half is transformed into the victim, breaking The simple character settings in the previous anti-kill films are unique.
In this way, the wedding video at the beginning of the film has a special meaning. The low melody of the background music, the bride and groom who are always fuzzy, have a reasonable explanation at the end. In fact, this kind of blind spot shooting technique is not uncommon in suspense films, such as "The Devil in the Elevator", "No Survival", "Kojima Cry" and so on. Japanese mystery novelist Keigo Higashino is also often featured in his novels. Use this technique. Compared with these movies that make people who we think are dead as murderers, "Perfect Escape" is a relatively novel change of perspective, which is a surprise for a movie that is positioned as an anti-killing movie by the audience.
As for the heroes and heroines whose combat effectiveness is exploding, the violent love between them is another surprise.

    There are a lot of things that don’t make sense, but I didn’t give any explanation in the end.
