Not very interesting

It feels normal. The key plot of this film is from the mouth of the lame. You can't tell whether what he said is true or false, so in the end, no matter what the truth is, it will not make people feel particularly surprised, and the director played various narrative techniques throughout the process. Trying to increase the suspense with this, it just makes me feel dizzy and tired, in fact, no matter what you do, everything is the lame in charge.
I think a good suspense film should leave a considerable amount of space for the audience to participate and judge. For classics such as "Rear Window", the audience has the same perspective as the hero in the film and can obtain the same amount of material. While the hero makes step-by-step inferences, the audience can also make their own judgments and remain suspenseful.

    Did you learn the storytelling mode of the suspect in The Black Donnellys style from this film?

    The plot is still awesome, maybe because I was not serious in the first 30 minutes? It was dumbfounded, but it was okay to read it again later. Don't spoil it! ! ! (Spoiled alas...) So, lying must have details and very details. And if a person survives in desperation, it is really hard not to doubt him.
