Review of "Breath of Life"
The movie begins on a calm note, not as intense as expected given Eric's notorious reputation. However, it soon picks up with strong storytelling and action. Eric is introduced as a famous and dangerous kidnapper, known for being ruthless and strategic. He leads a gang and makes a lot of money from ransoms.
Despite being uneducated, Eric has his own ideas about manhood and money, which influence how he deals with his team and his lovers. He builds many connections and is careful to cover his tracks. He spends on his family and lover but he's stingy with his workers.
From the beginning, viewers expect justice to catch up with Eric by the end. The movie's journey to this outcome is straightforward and not very thrilling. However, because it's based on a true story, it stays true to real events. It's not a suspenseful film but rather a straightforward tale of crime and justice.
The Trade focuses on the actors' performances, featuring both well-known and upcoming actors who deliver their roles well. The settings of the movie effectively support the story, making it clear what the movie is about.
