Personally feel that two points are not enough

1. Katie’s cause of death was too perfunctory, so much was laid before, but it turned out to be an accidental death with a lot of suspense points. The killer is also a character similar to an outsider that has never been hinted or suspected before, obviously not convincing. And it's not exciting enough. 2Why did the body of the pedophile that David killed were finally found in a place far from the point of death? Is the purpose to make David suspect? After his death, he was searched for several days before he was found, but David had just been killed the night before. The only evidence that proved David's innocence had to surface after his death, and this "evidence" appeared abruptly. For so many days after the person died, no one noticed that no one reported the crime or even mentioned it. It was only after David's death that the police suddenly knew that someone had disappeared and the body was found in the river. Trying to prevent David from proving his innocence is a bit forceful.

    Jimmy’s daughter was murdered and Dave’s return to the night was bloodied. The timing of these two incidents almost coincided. From a purely screenwriter’s point of view, it was a flaw, because it was too coincidental to tell the story without making up the story like this. However, it is classified as the premise of second-rate narrative manipulation: the small town is livable and comfortable, so the coincidence of two extreme homicide incidents seems abrupt and contradictory. From the perspective of the intention and emotional atmosphere of the play, Dongmu seems to have no intention to provide the audience with a feeling of a harmonious community: you see, from the disguised police imprisonment and violence more than 20 years ago, to Jimmy’s imprisonment and rampant connivance by gangs. Volunteer police lynching, wives simply cannot trust their husbands, small-town families discriminate and hate each other, daughters and lovers want to flee, under-age violence factors, and child-prostitution crimes always exist. Negative personalities are gathered together, and negative emotions are permeated. In such a dark and dangerous place, it is inevitable that the murder case will hit the date! ... But I still have one question at the end: Why doesn't Sean Penn play Sean himself?
