"Highly Doubt" Supervisor Post - Shanghai

1) On June 11, 2010, SMI Zhengda Hall 7, 12:30, 6 rows of 8 seats.

2) Buy one hour in advance, 40 yuan, half price.

3) Even me and Momma, there are ten audiences and five pairs of horses.

4) There are only so many people, and there are three times in the movie theater to answer the phone, speechless.

5) 2 "Shenjiang" advertisements, one for Nokia, one for KFC, one for Skoda, one for Kerenveg, and one for some kind of car.

6) Very old-fashioned...

I love Amber Tamblyn who says FUCK YOU!

As far as the movie itself is concerned, it's really not worth mentioning. For the first hour and 40 minutes, I was immersed in an unintelligible dream. Despite trying hard to create a suspenseful and tense atmosphere, halfway through the show, I really understand the ending.

It must be that the injustice makes everyone happy.

The only highlight is the last 5 minutes! Who knows the truth behind the truth. Nicholas is indeed a master planner. Almost made the society believe...

Film review: highly skeptical

The story arrangement is good, after all, there is the bottom of the previous version, but the problem is that there are too many flaws and flaws. For example, the male pig pretends to kill himself. At most, it can only prove that he bought the corresponding items after the event, but does not prove that he did not have these items beforehand? And in the end, the female pig is only suspicious, right? In fact, the most impressive thing in this film is the old Ginger Douglas, who plays the...

The director took the film very seriously, and after thinking about it carefully, it is not a bad ending.

I watched this film on the recommendation of my teacher, and because of the minor problems I got in class, I always like to pick out the little details when watching the film.

At the beginning of the film, the male protagonist was given a clip of on-site investigation. At the end of the clip, the male protagonist's face immediately dropped after the broadcast. And when the boss was dismissed because of his opinion, and he absently participated in the date with the heroine, the heroine...

Plot for myself - highly skeptical

The reporter's male protagonist found that the barrister became famous by falsifying DNA to convict him. Together with his friends, he pretended to be a headless murderer to lure the lawyer to take the bait. The lawyer killed the male protagonist's friend by force. He found evidence to overturn the case, and brought the lawyer to justice with the assistance of the black police officer. In the end, the heroine found out that the hero was actually a murderer. Back then, the hero forged the...

1. Except for Douglas, the other actors are too weak. There is no tension in the rivalry. 2. The plot setting is too unbalanced, and the climax is only 0.1 seconds. That's not how reversal scenes are shot. 3. This kind of story is too new for me. 4. I miss...

Movie quotes

Animal Shelter Attendant: Are you looking for a pacific type of dog?

C.J. Nicholas: A Jack Russell terrier.

Corey Finley: Like the kind in Mask or Frasier.

Animal Shelter Attendant: Yeah, I think I know what a Jack Russell terrier is. Thank you. Uh, we have one that's mostly Jack Russell. He's-

[points]

Animal Shelter Attendant: he's out there.
Martin Weldon: I just received a new budget. We can't afford the investigation team anymore.

Corey Finley: [shocked] What?

C.J. Nicholas: [shocked] You gotta be kidding me.

Martin Weldon: Have you looked at your ratings?

C.J. Nicholas: No.

Martin Weldon: Well, it's not a pretty sight. It just so happens that the folks who own this place have this funny little obsession about ratings. It seems that ratings pay the rent. No ratings, no rent. So you guys are both going on general assignment.

Corey Finley: Oh, come on.

Martin Weldon: I don't like this anymore than you do. Hey, I saw your documentary. That's why I hired you. I know you're good.

C.J. Nicholas: [desperate] What about the story?

Martin Weldon: What story? You've got some stones coming in here and using the word "proof." You answer me one simple question- How in the hell could Detective Merchant plant that cigarette butt at the crime scene when the interview took place three days after the crime scene photographs were taken?

[beat]

Martin Weldon: Now pick up your assignments at the front desk and get out of here.
C.J. Nicholas: [ecstatic] I got it! This is the big one!

Martin Weldon: Sit your ass down.

C.J. Nicholas: [as Corey takes a seat] District Attorney Mark Hunter is faking forensic evidence to get convictions in murder trials.

Martin Weldon: [to Corey] He's not sitting his ass down.

Corey Finley: I am, though. My ass is right down. Snug. This is his idea.

C.J. Nicholas: I've got proof.

Martin Weldon: Sit your ass down.

C.J. Nicholas: [complies] Hear me out. Three years ago, Hunter lost a string of cases. Now that's not something a district attorney's supposed to do. And then- bada bing- 17 murder convictions in a row. Now he's leading the polls for governor. Do you think maybe he's on a lucky streak?

Martin Weldon: DAs don't try cases they don't expect to win.

C.J. Nicholas: [pulls out crime scene photos] Okay, take a look at this.

Corey Finley: [to himself] Oh, man.

C.J. Nicholas: It's the crime scene photo from the Andre Benson case.

Martin Weldon: [disinterested] Why am I listening to you?

C.J. Nicholas: There was no footprint match, no fiber match, no trace that Andre Benson was even there, except for this cigarette butt. So Andre Benson had the presence of mind to pick up his shell casings, but not his cigarette but that he left right next to the victim's hand?

Martin Weldon: I think you used the word "proof."

C.J. Nicholas: [pulls out a tape] The interview tape. Just bear with me here.

[puts tape in a VCR]

C.J. Nicholas: The detective on the left, one Anthony Merchant. Now, before Hunter joined the DA's office, he was a police detective, and his partner for many of those years was none other than Detective Lieutenant Anthony Merchant. Now watch.

[In the tape, Merchant offers Benson a cigarette]

C.J. Nicholas: Okay, here we go.

[pauses the tape]

C.J. Nicholas: That's how they got the cigarette butt with Benson's DNA. It's right there in front of use.

Martin Weldon: This is your proof?

[to Corey]

Martin Weldon: Are you going along with this?

[Corey just raises his hand]

C.J. Nicholas: All of these 17 convictions were decided by DNA evidence. In each case the lead detective was none other than Anthony Merchant.

Martin Weldon: How did you get that tape?

C.J. Nicholas: From a source.

Martin Weldon: And I bet this source has a skirt.

C.J. Nicholas: [scoffs] Does it matter?

Martin Weldon: [shakes his head] Not really.

C.J. Nicholas: Then, what is it? I mean, this is a story- a monster story!
