In the free discussion class in the summer and primary semester of the sophomore year, Ma Jun once let go of the beginning of this movie.
To be honest, this movie, which was praised by Zhong Xiuyong, didn't leave me too deep an impression, it was just an ordinary drama.
The widow of a financial company employee who was accidentally killed in a shooting is suing an insurance company, hoping that the insurance company will be held responsible for the frequent shootings.
Because of the significant impact of the case, both the plaintiff and the defendant have different strategies for determining the jury candidates. Lawyers for the defendants' gun companies even used fringe tactics such as wiretapping and voyeurism in order to manipulate the jury.
The male protagonist infiltrates the jury for some purpose, and the female protagonist manipulates the jury's opinion both inside and outside, and extorts high fees from the lawyers of both parties to decide the direction of the case.
Plaintiffs' attorneys conscientiously gave up on bribing the jury, and defendant gun companies hoped to win the lawsuit for $15 million.
But unexpectedly, the plaintiff won the lawsuit in the end. The defendant finally found out that the hero and heroine had been witnesses to the shooting and lost their relatives in the shooting. The purpose of their participation in the lawsuit was to maintain justice, and they planned to use the 15 million dollars to help the shooting. victim's family.
In general, the movie is not bad, and the plot is not too unexpected, but for those who do not understand the American judicial system, it is a good entry point to understand the jury system.
