Coincidence of multi-line narrative? retribution?

Things that seem to be coincidental are always connected by cause and effect, and all coincidences are not coincidences when they come together. The cheating girl has three lovers. If it wasn't for her cheating, the first lover would not have died in the cemetery, her father would not have helped her throw her body, and the third lover would not have been regarded as the murderer of the car accident, and she would not have been in the cemetery. The bowling ball left behind because the cheating girl wanted to blame the second lover was arrested, and the second lover would not have robbed the convenience store for an abortion, so she would not have been caught. All the coincidences and the group of kids with broken dicks came together into a movie. The butterfly effect is no different. The plot is relatively simple and has no profound meaning. It only captures the interest of the audience with multiple story lines. But you have to think about it. Coincidence may be a kind of retribution. Retribution will always come at a certain point, and that point is your 11:14pm.

The film is labeled as suspense, but it actually feels like a drama with multiple storylines, not like Fatal ID and other movies that really perfectly integrate suspense and multiple storylines. There are many such movies, as if multiple storylines have become synonymous with suspense. Too many storylines are not necessarily a good thing. A good suspense film needs a good script. It is not because there are too many storylines that people can't understand it, it is called brain-burning.
