Still a great story.
It is To Qifeng's consistent style.
There are shadows of "Dark War" and "Very Sudden".

I didn't like the ending, and even felt disappointed.

Fate is unpredictable, you can never guess the next second.

Maybe that's an indictment too? Such is the fate of Chinese cinema.

Like "Match Point". In this world, good and evil are reversed, and although there are very few of them, it exists. Good twist. Twist.

I took a picture of my big Tianjin, it seems that strange things are mixed in...
