My opinion on the big case

It's a pity that the plot

started less than 5 minutes, and seeing the tears of Congressman Stephen's crocodile gesture, I guessed that his female subordinate, his mistress, must have been killed by her boss, but I have to admit that I didn't expect them to have a relationship. leg.
As the plot progressed, I overturned my first judgment again and again, although I still had doubts in my heart. Politicians in American movies should never be upright and brave but weak and needing protection from friends. This is totally inconsistent with the American style of making jokes about politics, and secretly expecting that there will be any other shocking secrets that have not been revealed. . .
Before the big truth was revealed, when everyone believed that An Dian Company was the planner and executor of the whole conspiracy, I was so disappointed as a serious movie audience. . . Is Stephen a good guy? can not. . . Pain in chest. . However, when the news was close to the deadline, the male pig's foot reporter Carl suddenly had an epiphany, picked up the newspaper to find Stephen, threw the newspaper on the table and asked him why he did it! I feel a little at ease, the screenwriter is not living up to the expectations of the audience. The fact is that Congressman Stephen found out that his mistress was sent to spy on him and then murdered him and put the blame on the security company. Even this ending is quite satisfactory.

The actor is amazing The No. 2 reporter in the play plays Rachel McAdams, the Queen girl in the official Mean Girls, that is, the girl who is crazy about love in the notebook. Her charm is

almost more than Ben Affleck. Every time the reporter writes the background

music

, he does like a reporter shaking his head and going to the execution ground. This overdone sound effect pulled me out of the plot many times and couldn't help but wonder why the soundtrack was so discordant.

All in all, it's a fairly conservative film, a bit anticlimactic, but not rushed (I'm a legend to be rated hasty), with three stars for plot, four and a half stars for starring, one star for music, and three stars for rounding. Still worth seeing.
