      Let us revisit this movie when the mother-humiliation case is full of storms

      I believe everyone is familiar with the case in Shandong where the gangster was sentenced to life for stabbed to death because of his mother's humiliation. The current Chinese public opinion environment has triggered discussions on law and reason. And should the law be ruthless or humane? It is also an enduring controversial topic, but at this juncture, it reminds me of an American movie I watched a long time ago.

      Capitalism is where we have something to learn

      This is what Xu Jinjiang said in God of Gamblers. Legally, it does. A black father who avenged his daughter, did what a father should do. Killed 2 murderers of their own daughters. It smells like a western cowboy. But the law is the law after all, and the will of the person is the transfer. Such a scene can only appear in the movie, and it is absolutely impossible in reality.
          As far as the plot is concerned, it fully embodies a lawyer's skill in defense. The female assistant's...

      Sometimes the boundaries of justice are really blurry, too difficult to grasp, not just about differences in race and color... The double standard of law and human nature itself is a problem... ps: Uncle Matthew's performance is still very good...

      They're all big names, Samuel L. Jackson, silly big sister Sandra Bullock, blonde beauty Ashley Judd, it looks like she married a race car driver and then got divorced. Western beauties like tough guys sweat and oil. man, right? Chinese beauties like little white faces and sissy girls. Eastern and Western tastes are very different. Kevin Spacey also starred in the villain, Sutherland is a familiar face, and the police until August met in...

      The screenwriter's three views are so crooked that I want to beat him countless times, so I don't even bother to study "Why Lawyer Matthew is so handsome in "Killing Hour"!" Why does Joe Schumacher, a vulgar and unbearable fake director, always find a group of big names? It's a lifetime tragedy that Kiefer has become this guy's queen. This time, his father also admired his face, but he didn't have a rivalry. Bad...
