Film evaluation

broadcast
EDITOR
The film is a recombination of directors and writers Chow Hsien Yang and To Chi Lang. The first time the two cooperated "Murderer" was not highly rated, but how vicious criticism will not let the creator abandon his hypocritical elements half a point, the content and taste of this "Big Manhunt" can also be regarded as an improved version of "Murderer" [9] . (NetEase Entertainment Review)
"Big Manhunt" in the intelligence of the net more open, and the motive and even human nature analysis is also intended to dig deeper, the creator urgently needs this work to become complex, but also to risk accidentally stepping on the mine, the film's ending is not to make people laugh, but it is also not clever, which is the common sadness of all writers who write suspense drama: The audience has mastered a million ways to kill, but the circuitry of the human mind has not kept pace with the demands of the curious [9] . (NetEase Entertainment Review)
This film has the same suspicion as Higashino Keigo's "Confessions of Suspect X". Similar Settings allow viewers to guess 90 percent of the facts halfway through Manhunt and lose interest in following them. And the same emotional motive, "Manhunt" deals with issues that are verbose but vaguely operable, not as skillfully as "Confessions of Suspect X," densely detailed and fatally related to each other [9] . (NetEase Entertainment Review)
The film is tender and mixed with a strong blood gas, Wang Minde's stepfather to his daughter full of sexual innuendo violence directly dripping dripping, also rarely seen in Chinese-language films. The publicity stunt of the two best actors was not as exciting as expected, because the two men were basically fighting alone [9] . (NetEase Entertainment Review)
