Watching this film is too tiring, I'm nervous and expecting George Clooney to bring me a wonderful story, but in the end there are no surprises. If it weren't for the changes in editing and storytelling, I would say this is a simple one. The film, of course, the performances of the actors are really remarkable, and the skill of director George Clooney is not too bad. Many small details still make me think, hey, not bad.
But I don't understand why such a film that is not outstanding can have so many Oscar nominations. Later, I realized that Oscar just likes such films, which are characterizing, tell real-life events, and reflect social issues. Well, to meet the Oscar requirements, but for me, so-so.

    I like watching crime movies very much, the performance is very delicate, I like it

    The plot has old-fashioned bridge lines. The lines are too long. The director’s skills are still OK. I heard that it is a debut show.

  • Marty Bach: [on a cell phone conversation] Marty Bach, how can I help you?

    Bridget Klein: Marty, hi. It's Bridget Klein. Look, we're going with a story tomorrow about a settlement in the U-North defoliant case. Do you want to comment?

    Marty Bach: The case you're referring to is now as it has been for the last six years: Pending and unresolved. Until such time as our client has their day in court, and the plantiffs come to their senses and drop the suit, I'll have nothing of value to tell you.

    Bridget Klein: Come on Marty, you're closing the U-North case, you're settling it, I know that. Okay? I know you're up there with like 600 people jamming this thing through.

    Marty Bach: Well, here's what I know: Your deadline was twenty minutes ago. So either you're fishing for a story, or you're trying to get out of writing a retraction. In either case I wish you the best of luck.
