The star-studded "Chloe", although the rating is not high.
But the ambiguous atmosphere, the glamorous plot, and the superb performances of the big names are all mesmerizing.
Its director, Artem Igoryan, is particularly adept at using flashbacks, voiceovers, multi-line narratives and other "literary" means.
Tell a mysterious and suspenseful story in an orderly and engaging way.
What the evil lord brings to you today is another work of Yi Dao with a similar style.
Although more unpopular, compared to "Chloe", every aspect is not less than let go:
Where to find the truth
where the truth lies
The film is also set by the three protagonists of the big coffee pressure array.
The heroine is Alison Lohman, who left a glimpse in "Stickman" and "Big Fish":
The two male protagonists are divided into "corrupt country" gentleman Colin Firth:
And the "Hero of the Earth" Kevin Bakken who is obsessed with the "Star Lord":
Three rare male gods and goddesses will trace a female corpse mystery that has been covered up for 15 years in a very retro atmosphere.
Vince and Lenny were a pair of popular partner artists fifteen years ago.
Their personalities are diametrically opposed, but the relationship is unusually good.
Lenny is like a fire, informal, mercurial, and often causes all kinds of trouble because of women.
Vince is like water, gentle and calm, calm and restrained, always able to silently escort the two in his own way.
They were funded by a gangster in the early days of their careers, and even after they became famous.
At one point, the two prepared to hold a 39-hour live fundraising broadcast in Miami.
But the gangsters asked them to rush to New Jersey immediately after the live broadcast to stand for a newly opened hotel.
Under the coercion and inducement of the big guy, the two had to obediently obey.
The night before the end of the live broadcast, lobsters and beauties were indeed served as promised.
It also included a part-time waiter at a hotel "hand-picked" by Lenny (which is also an asset of the boss), Maureen.
After the live broadcast, the two rushed to New Jersey.
Unexpectedly, Maureen's body actually appeared in their bathtub.
The big guy used all kinds of means to force the police to close the case quickly.
Star-chasing girl Maureen, waiting for the two stars to drive in the room, drank too much wine, bumped more medicine, and accidentally drowned in the bathtub.
Although the case came to an end, Vince and Lenny parted ways, and their careers plummeted.
The heroine, O'Connor, is a young journalist with considerable achievements.
Her other identity is that of the "miracle girl" who received funding from two celebrities on the charity live broadcast that year and cured polio.
Unexpectedly, fifteen years later, O'Connor once again got the opportunity to get close to the "big heroes".
The reason for the incident was that Vince was willing to sell his life for 1 million and let the newspaper publish a personal autobiography.
As a result, "Miracle Girl" became the preferred writer of the newspaper.
With a simple investigation, O'Connor noticed the bizarre case.
On the one hand, normal people can see that there must be cattiness in it.
On the other hand, she does not want to believe that her hero will be a murderer.
So she made up her mind to take this opportunity to find out the truth of that year.
At this time, another party, Lenny, took the initiative to find the door.
He sent the draft autobiography he had written to the newspaper, implying that the lord had written it himself, and that the others should stop working blindly.
O'Connor carefully read the draft autobiography and found that apart from a few more details, it was not much different from the public version.
Lenny's move was clearly intended to cover up something.
Luckily, in the first class of the plane, O'Connor happened to meet Lenny himself.
So she concealed her true identity and approached Laneet in the name of a fan, hoping to obtain useful private information.
Soon she discovered something that contradicted her autobiography.
For example, the gangster once rewarded the lobster and rewarded two hard-working stars.
But now when Lenny sees the lobster, he is extremely repulsive for no reason.
After a romantic night, Lenny said no hello or leave a note and said goodbye.
This undoubtedly made his image plummet in O'Connor's mind.
She couldn't help but think of a terrible assumption—
That night, the two stars somehow killed Maureen and then hid the body in a chest carrying lobsters.
Wait until the box arrives in New Jersey, then take the body out and put it in the bathtub.
With this assumption in mind, O'Connor bid farewell to his childhood idol's yellow sorghum dream.
He rushed to Los Angeles alone to interview Vince, who had a contract with the newspaper.
Vince is ostensibly very cooperative with her work, but is quiet about Maureen's question.
Unable to withstand O'Connor's stalking, he reluctantly agreed to confide the truth at the family dinner.
But it was a feast.
Vince graciously invites O'Connor to take a "mild sleeping pill" to help him drink, but secretly swaps the drug for a hallucinogen.
Wait until O'Connor's consciousness begins to blur.
Vince then dispatched his female singers to stir up and take threatening photos.
His purpose is very clear -
O'Connor must continue to complete his autobiography and get him $1 million, but can't mention anything related to Maureen.
Unexpectedly, O'Connor, who looked weak on the outside, was extremely firm in the face of right and wrong.
She gambled her career in complete disregard of Vince's threats and threatened to make public the "lobster corpse transport".
O'Connor's move made Vince completely collapse.
Soon after, he returned to the hotel in Miami alone and committed suicide by taking medicine in the bathtub of his suite...
Vince's death, on the side, confirmed O'Connor's conjecture.
The only mystery left now is why the two stars killed Maureen and who did it.
Hearing the news of his old friend's suicide, Lenny had mixed feelings, and he finally decided to tell all the truth and complete the final chapter of his autobiography.
On that night that changed everything, there were no hordes of beautiful women sent by gangsters.
Yes, and only Maureen.
While the three indulge in pleasure, Vince confesses affectionately to Lenny under the combined effects of alcohol and drugs.
Lenny flatly rejected this same-sex love.
Unexpectedly, Maureen on the side moved his mind and opened his mouth to extort a large amount of money from Laney.
Distraught, he had to agree to the other party's request, and then locked the door and fell asleep in his room.
The next morning, however, Lenny's entourage found Maureen dead on the couch in the living room.
Lenny subjectively believes that Vince silently "settled" the trouble as usual.
And Vince did not refute it, and the two tacitly and their entourage "disposed" of the body with a lobster.
A series of ensuing incidents is the real reason why the golden duo parted ways.
After a thousand turns, O'Connor finally learned the truth of his dreams.
But the story doesn't end there.
Lenny's long-time retinue found O'Connor at this point.
And told her something she didn't know—
At that time, Maureen entered the room of the two celebrities in the name of an interview, and she put a tape recorder in the dining car.
The tape recorder recorded everything that had happened that night, and the tape was taken away by the entourage that found the body.
And now, he hopes to exchange this absolute evidence for a 1 million bonus for the newspaper.
Hearing the figure of 1 million, O'Connor suddenly realized.
It turned out that all the trouble was caused by this "faithful" retinue.
On the night of the incident, the entourage was also in the suite.
After learning that Maureen had threatened his master, he covered her to death in the night.
Then he took the tape and quietly left from Vince's unlocked room.
When the gangster was alive, the entourage did not dare to make any movement.
Now, he threatens Vince with the tape and demands a 1 million sealing fee.
This is why Vince unusually volunteered to publish his autobiography.
However, the entourage's loyalty to Lenny has never changed.
O'Connor and Lenny had a romantic night, and Lenny really had to leave early because of an emergency.
The retinue, who knew O'Connor's true identity, took the note That Lenny had left behind.
His aim is to turn the two against each other and prevent O'Connor from continuing to investigate Laney...
This is the end of an emotional and sad story.
Vince and Lenny believe that the other killed the girl, but they silently keep it a secret for each other for 15 years.
Whether it is friendship or love, no one can say clearly.
What is even more interesting is the motivation of the entourage, is he really just for money?
Just like director Igoyan's consistent style, these ambiguous feelings can only be explored by the viewers themselves in the film.
