Where are the lobbyists?

For the film itself, it is a traditional happy ending. It also sports some classic tactics, depicting the dark side of even the so-called "justice" legislators and victims. This also naturally reveals the essence of human beings, that is, everyone may fall, and everyone may have light and turn into darkness. The congressman kidnaps Nick in order to achieve his goal; the victim keeps his mouth shut in order to get a bribe. These are all things that actually exist in real life. In China, it is often seen that some victims or their families finally reached an out-of-court settlement with the perpetrator, which may be a typical example of the victim receiving bribes. For another example, many JC's forced confessions and this congressman's kidnapping are similar and familiar to He Zeng.

If the means of obtaining justice are evil, then this justice will eventually lead to evil. This sentence has been tried and tested. Anyone who ignores the path in the name of justice is the end result of evil. As the MP commented after hearing about Nick being kidnapped, "It didn't kill him and made a fucking victim". When a man begins to despise life, what right does he have to challenge a company that kills people through tobacco? Including, after losing a conversation on a show, the congressman reprimanded his staff, saying, you're looking for a kid who has lost the ability to think, not a boy who still has the ability to think and may be manipulated to smoke. In the eyes of lawmakers, everything is a case of marketing. What is the essential difference between this and the pain of marketing a party after the DZ in China?

On closer inspection, the unity of human society lies in the fundamentals. There are so many living beings, no one can surpass them. That is, all come for the benefit, and all go for the benefit.

In the end, although Nick put his immediate boss into a career, as if he had done justice in front of his son, but then he went to the communication company to start a new defense.
