movie The
movie "The Whistleblower" is a kind of special crime suspense. If I can summarize it in one sentence, it is "the suspense of love and emotional crime under the appearance of the case." Yes, the whole movie is covered with criminal suspense, and there are even action scenes, but if you look carefully, you will find that the director Xue Xiaolu is still talking about her best love. The entanglement of the case is actually the bondage of inner emotions. It is love that uncovers the crime, it is also love that draws the suspense, and it is love that ends the story. On the surface, the story of "The Whistleblower" tells a transnational conspiracy, bribery crime, but inside, the movie still tells a man's emotional escape, confusion, and return. This approach may not be a coincidence, and it may not be accepted by everyone, but I have to say that Xue Xiaolu still did what he wanted, and it has a unique taste.
Of course, from the perspective of perception, personally recommended audiences still need to lower their expectations of crime, suspense, and action. You can appreciate the film as a romantic film. As the goddess Tang Wei’s another non-literary film to test the waters, it may be reversed. There will be surprises outside of love.

And in terms of performance, Lei Jiayin and Tang Wei's "simmering pot combination" gave the film a natural sense of depression. There is no outlet for the depressed mood, and this kind of anxiety adds its own gloomy color to the suspenseful atmosphere of the film. On the contrary, Qi Xi's supporting role showed that such emotions have torn open the gap, allowing the audience to breathe a breath of comfort in the deep anxiety and become a bright color in the film.
To sum up, I recommend the belated movie "The Whistleblower"-a suspenseful love crime film with the characteristics of a female director.
