A few small questions about the movie

Let me talk about the look and feel of the movie first. The rhythm of the movie from beginning to end feels very good, and it is very fast to enter the plot. This is praise! The first question: At the very beginning, three security guards (the third security guard appeared at around 2:30 to block local employees) were checking the vehicle, and they also brought the dog to go with them. My question is "what to check?" If you just exclude local employees, you don't need to check the bottom of the car and the trunk at all. If it's checking weapons, it doesn't seem to be very strict. After all, there is no inspection inside the car.

The second question: The old hangar console appeared around 5:00, with three people in it, and about twenty monitoring screens. My question is "How can this be able to monitor a building with nearly ten floors?" From the plot behind, we can know the density of cameras. There are three cameras in a bathroom alone. How does the old hangar console track eight people through three people in this area? Ten people? Especially at the beginning of the homicide count in the middle plot, how to accurately monitor the number of homicides for each person? To be honest, when I saw this place, what I thought in my mind was that there was a surveillance team with a lot of people behind it, or there was a camera data AI system that could automatically determine the number of homicides in chaotic battles, especially in the absence of lights. Of course, if the monitoring party does not care about too specific data, it is another matter.

The third question: At 20:00, a hacao girl died (the first one). When the yellow hair next to her was still pretending, she started to have a headache, and then she had a headshot and died in about three seconds. . My question is, "Why did the protagonist explode without any delay when the protagonist killed the console at the end?" Is it because the distance is close and there is no delay? If this is the case, the delay time on the top of the building will be different from that on the first floor?

The fourth question (not so much a problem, but a complaint to the director): The maintenance worker’s death arrangement is a bit deliberate. The young maintenance worker seems to have a mental problem. The outsider can kill people by mistake and has a strong tendency to violence. , But there was no pavement for this before, and it always felt a bit abrupt. My slot is "Why the maintenance worker must die first", imagine if the maintenance worker does not die, what impact will it have on the stability of the experiment? Personally, I feel that the director arranged for the death of the maintenance worker at the beginning to eliminate the audience's expectation of the maintenance worker, so as to focus his attention on the real killing experiment.

The fifth is not a problem, it's a slot (I really want to complain about this!): At around 34:00, Barry (that is, the leader) after going through the headshot test actually started planning to kill 30 people directly, and it was Tell others frankly (Brother, if I have such a plan, I will just go to forcibly demolish the weapon arsenal, you don’t care if you want to kill 30 people, everyone is scared), especially if there is a sentence after that, sit down and talk. Talk, talk about Nima. Hey, who of the thirty people will die first? Will we live for you?

The sixth is not a problem, it is a bright spot (hahaha, I feel digressed): At around 62:00, when the heroine took a knife to kill the hero’s former friend, it happened to be the countdown to the first task, just kill He can live 30 more people, but the heroine is merciful. The heroine understands the truth of human selfishness in the previous foreshadowing, and he has also talked to the hero several times, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be unselfish. One time, it led to the death of 31 people randomly. This random death is likely to include the heroine herself, the hero, etc., which is tantamount to suicide. Of course, it doesn't matter if the heroine has read the script. (Anyway, my old lady won’t die, my old lady’s male ticket won’t die, go away.) At the end of the countdown, several scenes were given. At the time, I even thought it would be great if someone committed suicide. Unfortunately, there is no>_

The seventh question: In the last mission, Barry had the highest homicide count of 11, which was already the highest. The second homicide count was seven, and the others were all one. That is to say, he had an absolute advantage at the beginning, the primary goal It must be to kill the second place first, and then kill two people to hide and wait for victory. Then let’s take a look at the next evolution. Barry first killed the sexy woman, the number of murders was twelve, and the second was killed. Five (fuck, this brother is so fierce, although he was killed by the heroine in the end, but Barry did not know), the homicide count was twelve, and the personnel director killed the deputy (the one who was squeezed to death in the elevator should be regarded as an accidental death ). My question is: "In the final confrontation with the male protagonist, Barry saw the second (yes, I don’t remember the name of the second) corpse, why chase it?", please, who kills this time There are so many people like you, and I went to chase the male lead, find a place to sit down comfortably, open a bottle of red wine for a little celebration, you are a CT, and the waiting time is over. Of course, the director must not do it. Yes, you have to confront each other with fate. As a result, Barry, who was a special soldier, was lying on the ground by the male leader. Orz, the director, your script is so annoying. You can't let Barry hide. Then the hero doesn't want to go crazy looking for Barry? It doesn't feel so strange, but you are the director and you have the final say.

Question eight: When the last two security guards escorted the male lead, why did they walk in directly like this? Didn’t the anesthesia gun come first? There are pistols in the building. If the male protagonist has a gun at this distance, at least change one. And your goal is not to let the male protagonist die, right? You want to interview him, right? Are there any restrictions? In the end, the male lead killed five people in the warehouse, three monitors, and two security guards. Remember the three security guards I wrote in the first question? That is to say, there is at least one security guard in the dark, and the male protagonist threw the gun as soon as he walked out the door. The consequences can be imagined, and from the last shot, there were at least nearly 180 experiments in this experiment. From a routine point of view, more than a year of bomb preparation, a fully defensive building, and a completely isolated signal. Why did such an unprofessional interview finally appear?

Okay, the above are all my questions. In summary, this film is very good-looking, but there are still some plot arrangements that cause a little incoherence. I look forward to the next one.
