Depressed ending drags down a good movie

Russell Crowe, he has become so fat, and he has long hair. It really makes people miss the young and handsome hot-blooded police officer in "L.A. Confidential".
Fortunately, the film is still good, and the performances of Crowe, Rachel, and the Queen have all maintained their usual standards, but the small book is a little worse, but this is his usual level. More importantly, Robin White is still so beautiful, she belongs to the kind of virtuous beauty, which is soothing and reassuring. Could it be that this appearance made her play the image of a wife who was involved in and out of the play? Sean Pan really can't change his shit. With such a good daughter-in-law at home, he has to go out to steal fish. Sigh~~
The story of the film starts from the accidental death of a third party. With the investigation of the reporter, the shocking story is gradually revealed. Conspiracy, big corporations will do anything to privatize national security at the cost of more deaths, ironic and creepy.
Compared with many films with similar themes, this film has many new ideas in the setting of character relationships and plots, which greatly improves the visibility of the film. First of all, the professions of the male and female protagonists are journalists, which is different from the character setting of a policeman and a civilian or a scientist in many double adventure plots; secondly, there is no love between the male and female protagonists, at least not in the film; thirdly, the queen plays At first, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper did not prevent news from being published because he was afraid of causing trouble, but kept urging news to be published for the sake of sales. Although he stopped it later, he still avoided the cliché for a long time.
This film is actually very good, especially the state of fear when Crowe finds himself face-to-face with the murderer in the apartment, which is very tense. Rachel is still so cute. Her status as a blogger is very fashionable, a profession that is not very common in the movies nowadays. The poor little girl is often ridiculed by Crowe, but the string of pens hanging around her neck is still very warm.
I don't like the ending of this film very much. I don't know if the original TV series ended like this. It turned a very tragic frame up into a mental murder. It's really...a bit like Ed Harris and Samir Jackson's a few days ago. "The Cleaner," as well as Nicolas Cage's "Foreseeing the Future," sacrificed the film's themes in pursuit of the unexpected.

    After reading it, it was quite good, but in the end, I was a little confused. What exactly did you say? ! It seems that there was a short drama before, and it seems that the evaluation is also quite high. Why did the congressman's wife say that he slept with him for $26,000 a month, and finally learned about the congressman's situation? I don't understand this
