    The story is compact, with twists and turns. It covers various topics such as overseas military affairs, congressional affairs, political and business collusion, media operations, etc., but it is messy, and the laying of suspense is not intriguing enough, the main line is long, the details are not clear enough, and there is no sufficient view. Shadow power. Also, Russell Crowe is too fat~~7...

    The lineup is quite luxurious, and Crow Russell is really not suitable for this hairstyle. The plot is very catching, but after watching the movie carefully, the plot is only a small part of the reason why the plot catches people. The credit of music cannot be...

    The plot is tight, and the story is too conspiracy theory. PS: Why is the private privatized security company a monster of greed, while the defense organization under the leadership of a huge government is not...

    truth first

    When I saw the title, I thought it was an old-fashioned typical beautiful movie, but I got interested because of its news theme, and it was an excellent movie that I almost missed because of the title.
           Within 10 minutes of the film’s progress, I guessed what the ratings on DB would be like....

    Thriller becomes suspense

    After watching the film, I deliberately watched the tidbits and learned that the film was first positioned as a thriller, but because of director Kevin, it was finally made into a suspense film. To be honest, this film is indeed a bit hanging, and the truth didn't surface until the last moment, but...

  • Cal McAffrey: The newspaper article he types reads: Three Deaths Tied to Gulf War Army Associate New evidence links Rep. Stephen Collins with the suspect in the killings of three people, including Sonia baker, the congressman's political researcher. When confronted by the Washington Globe with information tying him to suspect Robert Bingham, Collins admitted he had directed his former Army associate to follow Baker after learning that she was secretly on the payroll of military contractor PointCorp. Collins, the chairman of the committee investigating PointCorp's government deals, said he authorized Bingham only "to observe" Baker. He said he never intended for her to be harmed. "He just did it," Collins said of Bingham. "He seemed more upset about what she was doing than I was." When police went to arrest Bingham at his Northern Virginia apartment last night, he was found dead, apparently of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. A rifle was next to his body. Investigators said they believe Bingham pushed Baker to her death under a Metro train earlier this week and later shot two witnesses, Deshaun Stagg and Vernon Sando, to silence them.

  • Cal McAffrey: Mornin'...

    Cameron Lynne: So? Where are we, was he nobbing her or not?

    Cal McAffrey: Morning, Cam...

    Cameron Lynne: That's funny about you. Every time your friend runs for re-election or conducts a hearing, you drop his name to me until we give him some coverage... but he finally does something that actually might sell some newspapers, you render mute. It's, it's - incongruous!

    Cal McAffrey: No, it's not... it's inconsistent.

    Cameron Lynne: Pfff, don't be an ass. What do you think? Those are the ideas for our facelift. I know, I know... it's crap! Our new owners have this odd idea that we ought to be turning a profit.

    Cal McAffrey: Yeah, well I hear our online site is doing great. I mean, not that I get to notice that sort of thing. I've been here what, uhh... fifteen years? I use a sixteen year old computer... she's been here fifteen minutes and she can launch a Russian satellite with the gear she's got.

    Cameron Lynne: Yeah, she told me you behaved like a pig.

    Cal McAffrey: That's too strong.

    Cameron Lynne: Well, pig-ish.

    Cal McAffrey: I showed her a little snout, uhuh.

    Cameron Lynne: Well, I happen to like miss Della Frye... and yes, I did send her down there to winkle something out of you. She's hungry, she's cheap and she churns up copy every hour.

    Cal McAffrey: Yeah, I now... I'm overfed, I'm too expensive and I take way too long.

    Cameron Lynne: Yes, you do.

    Cal McAffrey: I was Stephen Collins' room-mate in college... I don't live with him now.

    Cameron Lynne: Well, that's a shame isn't it.

    Cal McAffrey: Yeah... 'cause I could sell some newspapers.
