What kind of movie is this?

"What kind of film is this?" This is the only feeling I have to endure watching this film for more than an hour and a half. The first five minutes was the beginning of incomprehension. The strange description made me never understand what the two protagonists were doing. Every minute after that, I watched with the thought of "maybe the next shot will have a surprise", but I can only keep this thought in the next minute, and that's it, an hour and a half passed. Maybe it's our lack of understanding of American-style political struggles, or maybe the film's rhythm and narrative techniques are too vain, which makes me really sleepy. As for why the dark forest deterrence between the two sides will end in the mayor’s failure, I have never figured it out. And in the last scene of the film, does it mean that the investigator and classmate ran away? In short, what kind of film is this tm!

Billy Taggart: Are you old enough to drink?
Katy Bradshaw: You'd be surprised what I'm old enough to do.
Billy Taggart: Hey, easy, okay?
Katy Bradshaw: For example, I'm old enough to vote. And it might come of some interest, when casting my ballot, to know that Jack Valliant's campaign manager, a guy named Paul Andrews, is fucking the mayor's wife.
Billy Taggart: Bullshit.
Katy Bradshaw: [handing him a printout] And he drives a Lexus.
Billy Taggart: This is good.
Katy Bradshaw: It's borderline orgasmic, Billy.
Billy Taggart: Did you learn that at Hunter, too?
Katy Bradshaw: Wouldn't you like to know?

Katy Bradshaw: Yeah.
Billy Taggart: That's how you got those masculine forearms.
Katy Bradshaw: How'd you think I got 'em, from stroking your ego?
Billy Taggart: Big booty, good. Big forearms, no good.
