"Orthodox serious conspiracy theory" American film

Gannet Assassination Order, Manchurian Candidate, Byrne's Identity. . Thinking of these for a while, this film is also like this (the end can be ignored). The tension from the beginning, as if the killer is about to jump out, all the family and friends of the senior officials and bosses except the hero may be bad guys/liar/cannon fodder, key witnesses will die at any time, pressure from all aspects of the world, impossible tasks... In the end, it turned over in a flash at the end. It's like "Prison Break", I don't think it's too complicated after reading it, but I really don't know the ending before reading it. The reporter in this film is so great, he is like a truth digger. In comparison, the bunch of sports reporters in China are simply prostitutes. A final spoiler: It turns out that the $40 billion private military conglomerate just hired a spy. The real murder was done by the two of them.

    At the end of the day, it is not suitable to watch this type at a time like this today. The dialogue is cut to and fro, and I don't have any intentions. The editing is so fast that I am very dizzy. Go and lose weight, please, Helen Mirren's British accent is still alive. The ending song is good. The assembly line of the newspaper is very clever.
