      "Highly Doubt" Supervisor Post - Shanghai

      1) On June 11, 2010, SMI Zhengda Hall 7, 12:30, 6 rows of 8 seats.

      2) Buy one hour in advance, 40 yuan, half price.

      3) Even me and Momma, there are ten audiences and five pairs of horses.

      4) There are only so many people, and there are three times in the movie theater to answer the phone, speechless.

      5) 2 "Shenjiang" advertisements, one for Nokia, one for KFC, one for Skoda, one for Kerenveg, and one for some kind of car.

      6) Very old-fashioned...

      I love Amber Tamblyn who says FUCK YOU!

      As far as the movie itself is concerned, it's really not worth mentioning. For the first hour and 40 minutes, I was immersed in an unintelligible dream. Despite trying hard to create a suspenseful and tense atmosphere, halfway through the show, I really understand the ending.

      It must be that the injustice makes everyone happy.

      The only highlight is the last 5 minutes! Who knows the truth behind the truth. Nicholas is indeed a master planner. Almost made the society believe...

      Film review: highly skeptical

      The story arrangement is good, after all, there is the bottom of the previous version, but the problem is that there are too many flaws and flaws. For example, the male pig pretends to kill himself. At most, it can only prove that he bought the corresponding items after the event, but does not prove that he did not have these items beforehand? And in the end, the female pig is only suspicious, right? In fact, the most impressive thing in this film is the old Ginger Douglas, who plays the...

      The director took the film very seriously, and after thinking about it carefully, it is not a bad ending.

      I watched this film on the recommendation of my teacher, and because of the minor problems I got in class, I always like to pick out the little details when watching the film.

      At the beginning of the film, the male protagonist was given a clip of on-site investigation. At the end of the clip, the male protagonist's face immediately dropped after the broadcast. And when the boss was dismissed because of his opinion, and he absently participated in the date with the heroine, the heroine...

      Plot for myself - highly skeptical

      The reporter's male protagonist found that the barrister became famous by falsifying DNA to convict him. Together with his friends, he pretended to be a headless murderer to lure the lawyer to take the bait. The lawyer killed the male protagonist's friend by force. He found evidence to overturn the case, and brought the lawyer to justice with the assistance of the black police officer. In the end, the heroine found out that the hero was actually a murderer. Back then, the hero forged the...

      1. Except for Douglas, the other actors are too weak. There is no tension in the rivalry. 2. The plot setting is too unbalanced, and the climax is only 0.1 seconds. That's not how reversal scenes are shot. 3. This kind of story is too new for me. 4. I miss...

    Movie plot

    Behind the ambitions are often heinous crimes driven by interests and power. The history of prosecutor Mark Hunter ( Michael Douglas ) , who has always shown a clear high profile, is like a basin of clean water without any impurities, which belongs to a completely flawless professional record. Since becoming a prosecutor, Mark has been committed to putting all criminals in jail. Such upright prestige and attitude have made Mark the...

    "Beyond a Reasonable Doubt" combines the tricks, shady scenes of the police, the judiciary, the news media, the eagerness of quick success and quick gain, and the insidious and cunning of human nature, together to produce a suspenseful black crime film. "Beyond a Reasonable Doubt" is stable, solid, and subtle, mostly due to the foundation of its predecessors' films. (Sina review )

      Ella Crystal: You know, I just thought of one thing... fuck you.

    • C.J. Nicholas: How far would you go for the story of your lifetime?

      Corey Finley: I mean, you know me, farther than far.

      C.J. Nicholas: Would you risk everything?

      Corey Finley: Depends on what you mean by everything.

      C.J. Nicholas: Aw, everything means everything, including going to prison.

      Corey Finley: You're kidding.

      C.J. Nicholas: Never been more serious in my entire life.

      [He sips his beer]

      Corey Finley: Jesus. I mean, I don't know.

      C.J. Nicholas: I'm talking about the biggest story we've ever dreamed of. I'm talking about the Pulitzer Prize!

      Corey Finley: You're also talking about prison.

      C.J. Nicholas: Just hear me out. Okay, when I'm done, you say no, we don't do it. Your choice. Of course, it will mean you will spend the rest of your numbered days producing tookie tidbits from a minor league field. And it'll also mean you have no scrotal sack.

      Corey Finley: We gonna cut to commercial before we do Final Jeopardy?

      C.J. Nicholas: Right, cut to the chase. We both know that Hunter is bringing in fake DNA to get those convictions.

      Corey Finley: Right.

      C.J. Nicholas: We don't know exactly how, but we know that he's doing it.

      Corey Finley: Mm-hmm.

      C.J. Nicholas: You with me?

      Corey Finley: So far, yeah.

      C.J. Nicholas: Well, there's one way we can prove it.

      Corey Finley: And is this the risky part?

      C.J. Nicholas: Not yet. First we have to wait for the right murder.

      [beat]

      Corey Finley: What do you- The right murder?

      C.J. Nicholas: The murder of some anonymous person, okay? Some junkie or hooker where the cops have no suspect and they really don't give a shit. And there's gotta be some vague physical evidence, like, uh, like a tire track or a footprint. Not a lot. And it's gotta happen when I have no alibi.

      Corey Finley: Right, who needs an ali- Why can't you have one?

      C.J. Nicholas: I can't have an alibi because that's when we plant the circumstantial evidence.

      Corey Finley: We what?

      C.J. Nicholas: We plant enough circumstantial evidence that points it to me.

      Corey Finley: You're shitting me.

      C.J. Nicholas: I shit you not. We not only plant it, you document us planting it. You tape me doing it, each time with the day's newspaper in the shot. That way we can prove that the evidence came after the fact.

      Corey Finley: [worried] Aren't there laws against this kind of thing?

      C.J. Nicholas: More than one. Anyway, enough circumstantial evidence, and District Attorney Mark S. Hunter won't be able to resist. He'll arrest me, he'll indict me and he'll put me on trial. And not only will he have a high profile case, he will have a truly sexy, juicy, front page lead story that'll tie up the nomination for governor. And he'll have a white defendant. That, he won't be able to resist.

    • Manager: [walking around his store with Ella] The till is linked directly to my inventory. When I scan the barcode, it logs the product and it's manufacturer's number.

      Ella Crystal: Right, so you can match any receipt with an item that's been purchased?

      Manager: Yep, as long as it has the manufacturer's label. But I already told you guys this.

      Ella Crystal: [surprised] You spoke to someone from my office?

      Manager: Yeah.

      Ella Crystal: Do you remember who?

      Manager: Yes, he said he was the DA.
