The tone is well rendered, but the ending is really not so shocking, which has led to a drop in the overall evaluation of the film.
In fact, after watching too many similar films, I went back to think about many plots. It feels like there are too many places to explain. In fact, as a 24-hour script, it is still very good.
Russell is indeed at the peak level in recent years as stated by Empire magazine; the small book is quite satisfactory, there is no breakthrough; sweet sister Rachel is like a vase; Aunt Helen is also very moderate, but the explosive force is very strong; Jason Bateman's performance is short , but the acting is much better than the film in which he is the protagonist.
Recommended to see LA Confidential and Unusual Suspect.

    7 points. Brave journalists expose political scandals, a design that has always been Hollywood. In the first half hour, I originally wanted to score 7.5. Although the various scenes are not new, they are neat and exciting. But the final turnaround was so disappointing. Although I guessed that Xiaoben is a black hand, it is too natural for Uncle Russell to draw all the conclusions just because of one sentence~~

    There are two superstar male protagonists and two star female protagonists. There is a bit of a drag in the middle, but the overall is ok. You can watch it if you are in the journalism department.
