I don't know how much of the film based on such a true story is true, but just for the film itself, the script is indeed impeccable. The film is not only aimed at the shady story of the tobacco company, but also exposes the hypocritical humanity. It also took a lot of space. . The style of director Michael Mann's films is mainly slow-paced, and the films are generally a little longer. I personally like this style very much, at least I feel that the story is very full. Such a wonderful script coupled with the mutual drama between the two movie stars is really enjoyable. It is worth mentioning that Russell Crowe's performance in this film is so wonderful that it even overshadowed Al Pacino!

    It really feels thrilling to be able to keep reading it; the huge pressure exploded one after another in several tasks, first "Claw"'s wife, the two were in the sink of the new kitchen, and the wife finally couldn't bear the explosion; "Claw" came out of the courtroom after his testimony and smiled. Seeing his state after the pressure was released, he really felt how much pressure he was under before; then the report could not be broadcast, and the pressure was transferred to "Al Pacino". superior

    The foreshadowing at the beginning is more sinister, implying that these big chaebols are more terrifying than the primitive sects with guns.

Like an unsafe airframe on a passenger jet or some company dumping cyanide into the East River, issues like that! He can talk, we can air it!
