    Good movie

    Good movies, but also intentionally tell the story, lens language and switching are very comfortable, not too much irrelevant plot mix. Several of the actors were good, but the fearful performance was slightly exaggerated. Two minor supporting actors, Chen Bijue and the real criminals, whose acting skills are really impressive.
