But I also saw it very angry, because the lawyer here is actually a tax lawyer, that is, my own colleagues. I couldn't stand the 10,000 counter-criticisms in my heart for the whole series of things they said. First of all, to be a lawyer and get into such a big battle, is it only for tax law? You still have to be a criminal law or something. For tax law, the Big Four are much stronger! For example, Tom ran to cayman island to talk to others about business. What is there to talk about about this kind of thing? We are making these proposals every day, and customers only need a memo and a presentation. Besides, those who talk about tax planning proposals are generally the financial supervisors of customers. In their Cayman meeting, the client didn't understand tax deferral and present value. This is like a math teacher who doesn't understand 1+1=2, which is completely impossible.
Many people felt disappointed that the final ending of the film did not have a hot scene. I feel very disappointed for such an audience. Of course, this film is not like paying attention to the law or crime suspense, which is more misleading (I recommend Matt Damon's "The Rainmaker" for better legal films, except for the old-fashioned emotional scenes), but in the end he Solving others based on mail fraud is a very realistic thing. It's not the big things that are turbulent, but the most interesting part of the law is to use some small loopholes to achieve the big goal. I think back then, the U.S. gangsters have been unable to get sanctions due to the statute of limitation of the criminal law. In the end, the U.S. Revenue Service helped the FBI to help the FBI because of the "intentional tax evasion" (because it is impossible to declare taxes on gang income). The gang caught it. The mail fraud in this film has a similar meaning to this historical fact.
However, I still feel that this screenwriter has a very trivial understanding of the law. He said it is nothing more than attorney/client priviledge, which is far worse than "The Rainmaker".
