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!

    So many big casts made such a film, it was a waste. The villain of Russell Crowe is getting better and better, Catherine Zeta-Jones is getting older and older, and the sincerity of the female secretary is touching.

  • Carl Fairbanks: Nicholas Hostetler, you're under arrest for the murder of Paul Andrews. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.

    Carl Fairbanks: You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford one, one will be provided to you.

    Carl Fairbanks: Do you understand these rights as I have described them to you?
