The tones of the reminiscence scenes are monotonous and monochromatic, and only the balloons on the merry-go-round are still brightly colored. The fast spinning shot cuts into reality, implying that the death of his son has become Sean's eternal nightmare and heart knot, paving the way for bullet trace clues.

Kester appeared in the priest's clothes, with a cross on his chest, elegantly smoking and planting bombs, singing hallelujah, accompanied by chants, looking relaxed and happy, the villain's crazy charm is full of charm: with this At the same time, Sean is in the police station, looking rigid and strict, with work above life; the director wantonly exposes the inferior side of the good guy and the charming side of the bad guy, poised for the contrast in the back, and creates the contradiction in the character image.

The small climax of the frontal conflict at the airport, Kester's sunglasses, and the special expression of tying shoelaces between him and his younger brother exist as the characteristic clues of the characters. There is a thin water surface on the road to the airport, and the reflection broadens the view. The explosion scene is handled very romantically, the explosion sparks are handled as fireworks, the fireworks are full of the screen, the blood of the violent scenes is weakened, the red paint overturned, the confrontation between three males, the younger brother, Kester, Sean, (the younger brother's mentally retarded genius image). Close-ups of the characters' eyes (many), golden pistols, suits fighting, and two males facing each other.

Driven by the plot, Sean's family conflicts began to appear, his wife's disapproval, his daughter's rebelliousness, and finally Sean made a decision, accepted the change of face, and bought the foreshadowing of the confidential mission.

Before the face change, Sean asked to leave a gunshot wound, implying a knot in his heart. The first face of Sean after the face change, multiple mirrors show Sean's unacceptable insanity. Before going to prison, the back light was on top, the curtain opened, and the camera panned up. At this time, the police thought they were in control of the whole situation.

After being imprisoned, Sean still arouses suspicion, but years of investigation have obviously worked, "watch ur fucking mouth", a performance of the best actor, it can be seen that Sean who has become Skeet is still accustomed to hunched over, Sean tried his best to imitate Skeet's words and deeds, Skeet tried his best to externalize Sean as himself, contrast montage.

Skeet's charm solved Sean's daughter's rebellion, taught her a "protection mechanism" (although she stabbed herself at the end), made the president wait while answering his wife's phone call (comparison); and Sean's side, Skeet's girlfriend She is a strong mother, and her son Adam makes up for Sean's grief of losing his son for many years.

The gunfight at my brother's house, the white paper flying all over the sky, over the rainbow, the contrast between sound and picture, the holy and pure child, the mirror appears again, the two of them are back to back, facing the mirror, but they are facing their enemies for many years.

Church shootout, large flock of white doves, black and white suits, slow motion, close-up of eyes, opposite faces. Skate death fragment, large white spray, death like Jesus, singing (the beginning echoes). The end of the matter, the return of the ring, the return of the identity, but the original gunshot wound does not need to return, the knot of the heart is unraveled, the adoption of Adam, the homecoming clip, the soft contour light, the Tyndall effect, romantic and warm.

It would be fine if the villain wasn't bad (doge, Sean wouldn't be able to handle his daughter without Skye.

    This movie is a test of the actors’ acting skills. There is a face change in the movie, but in fact there is no (we all know), so both actors have to switch their acting roles. It was very enjoyable to watch.
