What kind of movie is this?

"What kind of film is this?" This is the only feeling I have to endure watching this film for more than an hour and a half. The first five minutes was the beginning of incomprehension. The strange description made me never understand what the two protagonists were doing. Every minute after that, I watched with the thought of "maybe the next shot will have a surprise", but I can only keep this thought in the next minute, and that's it, an hour and a half passed. Maybe it's our lack of understanding of American-style political struggles, or maybe the film's rhythm and narrative techniques are too vain, which makes me really sleepy. As for why the dark forest deterrence between the two sides will end in the mayor’s failure, I have never figured it out. And in the last scene of the film, does it mean that the investigator and classmate ran away? In short, what kind of film is this tm!

    Corruption in the United States, the mayor has made a city, but he also used his power to obtain huge amounts of money, just like China.

    Carl Fairbanks: You thought Billy would rollover; you thought Andrews was sleeping with your wife;

    Carl Fairbanks: you thought I wasn't.
