A bloody case caused by fake news

I didn't see the introduction of the film, I didn't know the plot and starring, just like jumping on a train with no destination and starting a journey, I chose this film. Because I didn't want to be embarrassed after watching the movie, I was very involved in it, and I found this to be a very good plot suspense film. I tried hard to guess the plot development, but I couldn't guess it right.

There are handsome guys but no beautiful women.
The opening scene of the film is the scene where the hero CJ is recording a show on the street. The navy blue suit is accompanied by beige trousers, just like the US team's entry dress at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics. In Chinese words, it is serious and lively, and looks good. It's sweet, not like pure American; I'm blown away by the second male lead, Douglas eloquent in court, and ultimately victorious. Walk out of the courtroom to give interviews and speeches like God. I think this is the first time I've seen Lao Dao's performance (his Mrs. Jones's works have been seen a lot, from the trap to the happy terminal, and then to Zorro 1, 2); the film's heroine Ella really can't She is a beautiful woman. Although there are many sex scenes and she is smart and temperamental, it has nothing to do with beauty.

Journalists' pursuit of Pulitzer Prizes, not facts
The film has repeatedly explained CJ's desire to win awards, which is completely different from the attitude of journalists in pursuit of facts and truth in previous films, and also paved the way for the final outcome. Before seeing the end, the impression that Americans are still relatively indifferent to fame and fortune and pursue their facts (aside from political factors), which is different from the quick success of Chinese reporters (reminiscent of some kinds of concocted paper meat and steamed bun news events in Beijing) , I thought that the values ​​of the old beauty had also begun to corrode, and I still had some expectations for them after watching the ending.

Going to bed is just as easy, the difference is whether there is true love
CJ and Ella went to bed after not dating many times, which makes people feel the "casual" of Lao Mei again, but after seeing the affectionate confession of the two, and Ella's life and death to save CJ, only It turns out that they really love each other, maybe they are not casual about sex, but too emotional. This reminds me of Chinese society. At least in Shanghai, many young men and women go to two extremes. One-night stands are too casual, and there is no true love. Talking about houses and names is too rational, and there is no true love.

Once again, the brotherhood of CJ and Finley in the BROTHERMENTIC
film has once again confirmed that BROTHERMENTIC is one of the living melody of today's American film and television works. Although CJ was suspected of taking advantage of Finley later, the tacit understanding between the two in work and life still made people envious, jealous, and hated. For Finley's death, while lamenting that he did not have good luck with Ella, he should also blame him for not being enough. Smart.

Countless
cases prove that people who make themselves smart do not end well. There will always be someone smarter than you around. Maybe this person has always existed, but he doesn't usually show his extraordinary intelligence. Therefore, to be a human being, it is better to be upright and honest, to live a relaxed life, others will not guard against you like an enemy, and you will also have a relaxed and harmonious living environment.

    The ending is very similar to the first-degree felony, the suspense is poor, the plot is more clichéd

    Three and a half. There are no bright spots.

Beyond a Reasonable Doubt quotes

  • C.J. Nicholas: [ecstatic] I got it! This is the big one!

    Martin Weldon: Sit your ass down.

    C.J. Nicholas: [as Corey takes a seat] District Attorney Mark Hunter is faking forensic evidence to get convictions in murder trials.

    Martin Weldon: [to Corey] He's not sitting his ass down.

    Corey Finley: I am, though. My ass is right down. Snug. This is his idea.

    C.J. Nicholas: I've got proof.

    Martin Weldon: Sit your ass down.

    C.J. Nicholas: [complies] Hear me out. Three years ago, Hunter lost a string of cases. Now that's not something a district attorney's supposed to do. And then- bada bing- 17 murder convictions in a row. Now he's leading the polls for governor. Do you think maybe he's on a lucky streak?

    Martin Weldon: DAs don't try cases they don't expect to win.

    C.J. Nicholas: [pulls out crime scene photos] Okay, take a look at this.

    Corey Finley: [to himself] Oh, man.

    C.J. Nicholas: It's the crime scene photo from the Andre Benson case.

    Martin Weldon: [disinterested] Why am I listening to you?

    C.J. Nicholas: There was no footprint match, no fiber match, no trace that Andre Benson was even there, except for this cigarette butt. So Andre Benson had the presence of mind to pick up his shell casings, but not his cigarette but that he left right next to the victim's hand?

    Martin Weldon: I think you used the word "proof."

    C.J. Nicholas: [pulls out a tape] The interview tape. Just bear with me here.

    [puts tape in a VCR]

    C.J. Nicholas: The detective on the left, one Anthony Merchant. Now, before Hunter joined the DA's office, he was a police detective, and his partner for many of those years was none other than Detective Lieutenant Anthony Merchant. Now watch.

    [In the tape, Merchant offers Benson a cigarette]

    C.J. Nicholas: Okay, here we go.

    [pauses the tape]

    C.J. Nicholas: That's how they got the cigarette butt with Benson's DNA. It's right there in front of use.

    Martin Weldon: This is your proof?

    [to Corey]

    Martin Weldon: Are you going along with this?

    [Corey just raises his hand]

    C.J. Nicholas: All of these 17 convictions were decided by DNA evidence. In each case the lead detective was none other than Anthony Merchant.

    Martin Weldon: How did you get that tape?

    C.J. Nicholas: From a source.

    Martin Weldon: And I bet this source has a skirt.

    C.J. Nicholas: [scoffs] Does it matter?

    Martin Weldon: [shakes his head] Not really.

    C.J. Nicholas: Then, what is it? I mean, this is a story- a monster story!

  • Gilbert Romans: There were four stab wounds. One severed the left carotid artery. Another just beneath the sternum punctured the aorta. The remaining two punctured the abdomen and opened the small intestines.

    Mark Hunter: Dr. Romans, I'd like you to take a look at this knife, previously entered as People's Exhibit C. It was taken from the defendant's apartment.

    [hands over the bag with the knife]

    Mark Hunter: Could that be the murder weapon?

    Gilbert Romans: [inspecting the knife] Yes, the blade's length and width are the same as the stab wound.

    Mark Hunter: And when you examined the knife, did you find any traces of blood on it?

    Gilbert Romans: No, it had recently been cleaned with a strong, industrial-strength cleaning solution, and deformities on the handle indicate that it had been boiled. Plus, striations on the blade indicate the blade had recently been reground.

    Mark Hunter: I have no more questions. Thank you, Dr. Romans

    [to Mr. Spota]

    Mark Hunter: Your witness.

    Gary Spota: So, just to be clear, what you're saying is, you don't know if this is the actual murder weapon or not.

    Gilbert Romans: No.

    Gary Spota: Thank you. No further questions.
