Humanity can't control

From the very beginning, the film has weakened the sharpness of the theme, the impact of the gun issue on society, the proposition is too grand, and the control is not good, and it will end up as "painting a tiger is not an anti-dog". So the smart screenwriter pragmatically bypassed this sensitive topic and put his pen and ink on the battle of wits and courage between the two factions in the big environment. Although the film is still a legal work in terms of style, the focus of the story is more on the intrigues behind the scenes. The confrontation at the front desk is just a routine without suspense. Unlike other films of the same kind, it focuses heavily on the courtroom scenes and is full of dramatic tension. Excessive discussion of taboo issues can only backfire.

As a gun control movie, it's better than Chastain's "Ms. Sloan". Hackman, Hoffman, and Cusack who haven't been hacked can't be copied, and Vichy can still be enchanting for many years. As for the plot of McDermott's murder at the beginning, it's a good illustration: a gun in your hand is better than the police on the other end of the phone, this truth.
