What I like ...
-- Ha ha ha ... how could you not like some of the lines
e.g., in defence, "I've been playing the game but I didn't make up the rules." ... rebuttal, "It's not who invented the gun but who pulls the trigger." ... wow ... ;)
e.g., "Under 30 and not liberal, no heart. Over 30 and still liberal, no brain." ... wow ... ;)
-- In fact, the conversation between the old man and the three young people was food for thought … it makes me think …
… has everyone walked through the youth of idealism once … can we really change the world?
… has age and time, society and realism set in to make people resign to fate …
-- As usual, I wonder how the film would end, and I thought it ended very well! hee hee ...
-- I actually like the song "Hallelujah"!
-- Finally, I commend the entire cast for carrying their roles very well …


What could be better ...
-- The beginning was promising, but somehow, somewhere near the middle, the "thriller" pace was "lost" (sigh …), but near the end, the film was interesting again ... ;)
-- Hmmm … if you are a capitalist … maybe you will dislike the film … just maybe …


Conclusion:
-- Above average.
