When the female reporter went to the hospital with the Washington Globe's work card hanging brightly on her chest, she bumped into Bingham. The female reporter behind should also be in danger, but she was calm and didn't have anything to do with her. The kid who delivered the pizza looked twice in the dark and was killed.
After Bingham's death, the only witness who could accuse the congressman of stalking Baker was gone; although the photos are still there, the congressman can be said to have been taken by An Point. So what charges are members of parliament charged with?
How did the congressman's wife know that Baker was earning $26,000 a month? Bingham told her? So Bingham is also a double agent? Plus, Carl came up with the pattern on the back of Bingham's shirt from a tattoo on his arm - first, how did he see the killer's back when he was being chased? Secondly, Bingham tattooed his arm based on the pattern on the back of his shirt. Could this be a shocking coincidence? Or does that symbol have any special meaning? The movie didn't tell.
Overall, the plot is patchy and blunt, relying solely on the soundtrack to bluff; the cuts are shredded, giving it an air of inflated feeling. For example, when Carl first met Ann's informant and Dominic, the camera quickly switched between several angles, giving the impression that someone was monitoring their conversation, which turned out to be groundless. I don't like movies that like to whet the audience's appetite. Now that you have enough energy, you must exert your power—making a movie is not selling abduction. Maybe the BBC miniseries will be much better.
ps In the emotional scene at the end of the film, Carl drove out an emotional manuscript with tears in his eyes in front of everyone, which I couldn't have done. Can you?
