Look, it's not over yet!

Old newspapers, cool reporters, homicides, young congressmen, hearings, peach incidents, weapons companies, lobbying groups, pimps... These keywords can probably outline the outline of this movie.
I have been hesitant to write this review, the reason is the jumping plate, the first 20 minutes of watching are fragmented. But it does not hinder the ins and outs behind. From those words, I already know that it will be an old-fashioned story, so let's see what the big secret is at the end. So I have been waiting patiently, generally this kind of baggage will only be opened at the last moment. But the burden that was finally opened was really a little small, and it was even more insignificant compared to the shocking conspiracy that preceded it. Perhaps the director wanted to say that the truth of the great conspiracy stemmed from this trivial mistake.
But I think the film should be finished 20 minutes ago, and no more truths should be designed. This kind of film is always used to design all kinds of falsehoods to pretend to be the truth, to give you all kinds of hints - there is no end to this! To increase the atmosphere of suspense and thriller. Until later, even at the end, I still suspected that everyone was deceived, and there was a more sinister conspiracy behind... Everyone doubted each other with sincerity and fear: Look, this is not over!
Out of the dedication to the actors and the three stars they like to give, the most for a single movie is two and a half stars.
