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.

The last turning point is really not exciting enough, I thought it was so awesome, it turned out to be boring revenge. But the previous foreshadowing is still good, with a strong sense of hierarchy, leading the audience all the way. It is very suitable for Cusack to play this kind of wise general. Old Hoffman has too few roles...

When the arms dealer was sentenced to lose the case, the judge was full of surprise and noncommittal. It is conceivable that the Arms Chamber of Commerce appealed, but the final result is still unknown. This is the reality. But in this game, seeing the blue gold step down the altar of the gold medal, it was still a little refreshing.

Judge Harkin: And just what do you think you're doing outside of that Juror Room, Mr Easter-Juror-Number-Nine?

Nicholas Easter: So, what? I'm supposed to convince you that I have them, right?
Rankin Fitch: Oh, I think you've probably got them, or-or you will have. I just wanna' know why.
Nicholas Easter: Money.
Rankin Fitch: Safer ways for a sharp kid like you to make money. What's the real reason?
Nicholas Easter: Business, politics, sports... you tell me what *isn't* rigged? I mean, is there even such a thing as an objective jury, Mr. Fitch?
Rankin Fitch: [chuckles] Not if I can help it.
Nicholas Easter: Then why should all the lawyers and guys like you make all the profit?
Rankin Fitch: You don't have much faith in the Law!
Nicholas Easter: I'm agnostic.
Rankin Fitch: [laughs] I knew there was something I liked about you.
