   "The End of Ten Days": A desperate carnival of suspense and humanity. The first time I watched this kind of suspenseful and brain-burning movie, I felt that the biggest shock was that it was closely linked and foreshadowed for thousands of miles, and there would be a shock of a bullet hitting the forehead. There is a sense of suffocation like a secret room, a brain-burning survival game, and the tearing and reshaping of complex human nature. It sends shivers down your spine, but you can't stop.
