Film evaluation

This film has a very excellent use of film language. This film is not only a detective film but also a psychological analysis film.

In the film, the director spends a lot of space to show the inner world of the characters and explore the psychological processes of the characters. The dark lens processing, superb use of music and non-positive violent shots make it even more exciting. The film adds to the thrilling tension and its use of artistic techniques is amazing.

The lens processing of Hannibal's escape is particularly outstanding, and it can be regarded as a model in the movie. Hannibal's escape method is largely expressed through side descriptions. The use of light, shadow, and color creates an excellent atmosphere for the film. The process is omitted and only the violent scenes of occurrence and result are shown. The handling is even more nerve-wracking and breathless.

The effect achieved by direct expression is even better. The final open ending of the film adds infinite charm to the film. This ending alone brings the film to a higher artistic level (reviewed by Kane Bostel).
