Provoking justice
Garry 2022-04-19 09:01:37
As the saying goes, you can't have both. When it is one's own income, money, on the other hand, the torture of conscience and the choice of other people's imprisonment, hesitation is inevitable. Is there freedom to choose or not to be a good person? It's easy to keep your body safe by insisting on not being a bad person, but to act as the incarnation of justice, and not be destroyed by the body, and at the same time your income is guaranteed, this is the dream of many people! The perfect combination of personal and ideal interests is what makes this film worth watching. A hanging heart is finally settled, and I have to say that it is quite refreshing. Why are we so happy to see bad guys get their retribution? At the same time, it also answers the worries of many people who are afraid of doing good things. As long as we are smart enough, we can still find ways to help others and protect ourselves. So after watching this movie, I feel that in the face of confusion, I should boldly believe in the direction of conscience and the escort of wisdom.

[Mick, armed with a baseball bat, discovers Louis has broken into his house]
Louis Roulet: [sitting casually in Mick's home office] If you're wondering how I got in, I'm in real estate, so if I want to get into a friend's house...
Mick Haller: No, we're not friends. You're my client. And I'm your lawyer.
Louis Roulet: My lawyer. See, that's exactly what I wanted to remind you of. I'm about to go on trial, and yet I couldn't reach you. Now I find out where you were all day. Heard you tell Maggie.
Mick Haller: You shit.
Louis Roulet: You went to see Jesus Martinez. And I know what you talked about: Donna Renteria. You're right, Mick. I killed her. There. No reason I shouldn't tell my own lawyer since it's all confidential. Attorney-client privilege. Isn't that what you told me?
Mick Haller: It's time for you to go, Louis.
Louis Roulet: Alright.
[He sits up, finishes his drink, and stands up. He notices a framed picture of Mick & his daughter Hayley on Mick's desk]
Louis Roulet: [walks out into the living room] That's a cute picture of your daughter Hayley. She's very pretty. She's got soccer practice tomorrow, right?
Mick Haller: [following Louis] Don't.
Louis Roulet: [pretending to be confused] Don't what?
Mick Haller: [gets in Louis' face] You think you're the first client to threaten me and my family? Huh?
Louis Roulet: All I said was she's pretty.
Mick Haller: Are you scared, Louis? Because where you are right now, you're in a very dangerous place.
[He opens the front door and Louis leaves]
