Regain the love for political movies!

In the elective course, I only watched half of it due to time constraints. The first part was slow in pace, and many students were asleep... The second part was more thrilling and exciting. The killer played by Stanley Tucci was particularly powerful at the beginning, and the hunt for the hero and the heroine in the second half was even more fierce and terrifying, completely worthy of the Chinese title. I have always liked movies about political crimes, maybe they are close to documentaries. I am obsessed with the texture that is close to reality. Julia Roberts should have been around 25 at the time, which was in line with the character's age, but she looked more mature. It is said that Denzel Washington was rated as the sexiest male star, and his first appearance in the movie was indeed...it’s too late to say anything.

[last lines]
Edwin Newman: Where is Darby Shaw?
Gray Grantham: I think that's also a question for Darby Shaw, but I know that she's not available to answer questions as long as this "feed frenzy" continues.
Edwin Newman: Does that mean that you don't know where she is?
Gray Grantham: No I didn't say that.
Edwin Newman: Then you do know...
Gray Grantham: [laughs]
Edwin Newman: I, I take it this cryptic smile means you'll not answer...
Gray Grantham: [smirking uncontrollably]
Edwin Newman: Okay Gray, you know that in view of all this, you know that there's a lot of speculation that this woman is a figment of your imagination. That you created her, from a lot of different sources. Just as there are people who believe there was no Deep Throat, there are those who believe that there is no Darby Shaw. In other words, she's just too good to be true.
Gray Grantham: She almost is.

Smith Keen: Didn't they also say they knew of no connection with the assassination?
Gray Grantham: Yes. But what else are they gonna say?
