Life-threatening memory: From gangsters to undercover agents to black police, the identities are revealed layer by layer, and finally they are dedicated to goodness

This movie was made by Amway when I was searching for the werewolf killing theme. I thought it would be a combination of secret room plus werewolf killing and escape, but I thought too much. Every plot reversal in the movie is handled very well, but whether it is character or logic, it is quite controversial. When the good people and the bad people lose their memory for a short time at the same time, two of the three gangsters are showing their identities as good people. If the essence is not bad, why should they be bad people? Especially the first gangster who died, without his good words, the plot should be a different direction.

Let's talk about the origin of the story first. There are five injured and unconscious men trapped in an abandoned factory warehouse. Among them, Woz, Brockman, and Coles are the three gangsters, and Coase and McCann are the hostages. Because of the melee when the hostages escaped, the toxic gas was released, causing all five to suffer short-term amnesia. Through phone messages and newspaper messages, the five people pieced together the truth. That is, another group of gangsters is in the process of taking the ransom, and they have succeeded. When they return to the factory before sunset, the two hostages will definitely be killed by then. So the five people had to verify their identities before that, for fear of being killed.

Through the memory clip, the male protagonist Woz remembered that he was a gangster, but he had a daughter, so he didn't look like a bad person no matter what. The young people who trusted him also remembered that he was Kos, that is, the identity of a good person. The person who was injured the most said that the male protagonist had saved his life before he died, so everyone's identity was on the surface. The mutual killing they thought did not occur, and the four decided to find a way to escape regardless of their identities, so as not to let the bandits come back and kill the hostages. This agreement can stand in the fashion of amnesia, because everyone is afraid that they are hostages, so they don't want to die. Since everyone knows that the other party is a gangster, and because of the gangster's words, I believe that the other party will help him escape. What a naive idea and a logical bug.

The leader of the kidnappers, Stefan, brought people back. After a small disturbance, Woz and the two employees were left alive. Stefan asked Woz to kill the hostages, but the off-site information revealed that he was an undercover agent, which is really a twisted memory. At the critical moment, Coase broke out, killing Stefan and saving Woz's life. When the police arrived, they also brought Coase's divorced wife. At this time, Woz remembered that he planned the kidnapping case and wanted to go away with this woman, but because of amnesia, he did something completely different. The ransom went to the police.

So Woz's character is full of contradictions. He is a policeman. After losing his wife and daughter, he became an undercover agent because of lack of money. It is obvious that this undercover identity needs to be questioned. He can plan to kidnap and murder Koss, and he will find his way back to the end. Maybe it is human nature to appreciate the life-saving grace of Koss. A scam to arrest criminals. It's hard to tell if he has ever been blackened, but I'm glad he made the right choice when he lost his memory, otherwise there would be a bigger problem with the logic of the black police.

    In the end, it was whitewashed and sure enough, it was still a cliché plot.
