This thriller, directed and acted by Joel Edgerton, must be said to be a sincere work. It focuses on a secret history and is displayed between the three leading actors, making the theme of revenge very dense. And it reveals a mysterious and creative atmosphere. The director is very good at the narrative of the story. He guides the plot step by step towards an uncertain direction, and this means of expression leaves no trace, allowing the story to slowly rise and fall between the characters, through The creation of the suspicious character of female characters reveals the whole truth of the story. The plot of the movie is very plain and straightforward, without a little modification, as if it is our real life. In this plain and boring life, if you encounter an overzealous thing, it will make people feel vaguely. The story is not simple. Obviously, this kind of trouble-seeking will soon lead to a clear and clear conspiracy. Behind this conspiracy, the movie has left us a heavy human burden.

As a horror movie, the plot is very cleverly conceived. This movie is no exception. The director uses a subjective perspective to unfold the story directly for us, and uses a position that is biased towards the two male and female protagonists. Unexpected encounters are interpreted as weird and uncomfortable behaviors. As we are constantly immersed in sympathy for the heroes and heroines, the movie begins to slowly turn to the other side to show us some small details, let a The mutation of small details produced a series of plot changes, and firmly grasped a series of chain reactions in the future, and began to create a reversal and strangeness of the story. The film not only completely subverted all our cognition, but also quietly. Silently changed the position, and in the process of this change, the director did not tend to either side of the opposite, but ended the whole movie in an embarrassing and contradictory situation that was difficult to resolve, so that everyone changed. Becoming a victim, there is no real winner, presenting a sad ending, and pointing the thought of the movie at people's indifferent and selfish humanity. The movie originally described a happy and happy family. It was because of the emergence of the supporting actor that there were emotional differences within the family, and then a series of truths hidden behind him were discovered. Only then did he understand that he was with him every day. It is so far away and unfamiliar. It is lies and deceit that created this crisis, and it is selfishness and concealment that laid the destiny of a tragic destiny. Without trust and understanding, behind it is the hurdle that cannot be crossed. The most true reason is I dare not admit my truest self. The clear-cut theme makes the movie full of contemplation. It tells us the truth of life more directly. No matter how deep or good I hide, I still expose my nature unknowingly. There is no good for no reason, no bad for no reason, some only have some reason hidden behind, slowly releasing and erupting, and the root of all of this is the existence and the daring to admit the true self, the movie The hidden meaning is thought-provoking, and the ending of the story is even more ruthless. It is a lie that tortures each of them, and it is a lie that ruins each of their lives.

Every woman is born a detective. Whether it is their intuition or their sensitive sensory nerves, they will discover the most secret clues and dare to figure out the most true facts. This is the natural right of women, everyone It cannot be denied. The movie captures this and makes women the only key to the truth in the movie, but women are so fragile and so vulnerable that men’s faults will later be borne by women. This movie is no exception. It caused the woman to endure the greatest pain and consequences, being mixed between two men, becoming the victim behind the lie, which can not help but feel sad and sorrowful.

As Jason Bateman, who has always been an honest person, he became a bad guy firmly in this movie. Under a face that makes people feel harmless, it is easy to confuse people, and in this movie, Jason Bateman has dedicated the most memorable performance, let him Acting as a bad guy makes people feel unexpectedly deep and awakened, and suddenly there is a kind of unpredictable emotional expression of the truth. It makes us thoroughly understand the profound truth that we cannot judge people by appearance.

    The bully's retribution song, the previous foreshadowing is too long, but fortunately the atmosphere creation and the story direction will not collapse, and the ending is high-energy

    A- Good thriller with a David Fincher twist. The dramatic turnaround of the plot contrasts with the procrastination of the first half. The film wanted to achieve the effect of deep thinking and fear, but the first male did not perform, and the script foreshadowing was also shallow, and the final effect was mediocre. The camera is very interesting, glass and mirrors increase the field of view. The soundtrack is weak.
