    GK, maybe I watched this film after watching NIKITA. I felt that the director intended to exaggerate the atmosphere, so it actually caused resistance. Some warmths came a little bit abrupt and some forced. The music is also a bit greasy, and the actors always cry. So it is undoubtedly difficult for such a film to be brilliant. And the mood is very important when watching.

    From the beginning to the end, even if WILL kept the tearful eyes and sadness for nearly two hours, it was not in the slightest. This movie has a kind of emotion from beginning to end, and it feels like some backlash. In addition, the story was not well told, and the explanation was unclear. But the suicide method looks very exciting...
