This feels like a 20-episode TV series compressed into a movie, with complex content, involving conflicts between the police and ethnic minorities, police corruption, political games, political and business collusion, homosexuality, etc., but due to the length of the movie itself Restricted, so the narrative feels a bit rushed and scribbled.
The advantage is that there are many big-name actors and a strong lineup.
At the beginning of the film, the policeman played by Wahlberg shot and killed the suspect, triggering public demonstrations? The judge acquitted the police, but the chief of the police wanted to expel him, but the mayor wanted to protect him? Didn't keep it, so you can only be a private investigator?
What is the purpose of the mayor’s wife to overthrow the mayor? After all, it looks good, there is no need to get you to death. Is it necessary to secretly provide information to the opponent's aides? A restaurant or hotel in the city is easier to cover. Why take the train to the beach house and enter the bedroom and draw the curtains?
This assistant was killed, and the actor rushed to the scene after receiving a call. He became the confidant of the chief of police? This turning point is too abrupt.
How did the mayor's wife know that the actor is investigating her? Now that you have all been invited to the hotel room, why not tell the truth happily?
Why did the son of a profiteer sell his father? Just because his father beat him?
The mayor stands tall in the political arena, why would he be so stupid as to leave the handle and evidence in black and white? Since this thing can never be seen, what is the purpose of leaving this evidence?
The actor’s girlfriend has a large-scale film premiere. It is obvious that the actor is an outsider who is not suitable for the artist’s style. Why doesn’t the Hispanic girlfriend get vaccinated in advance? Want to break up?
With so many unexplained circumstances, the film becomes less attractive.
By the way, although the charm of the mayor's wife played by Jones still remains, in terms of appearance, the hero's assistant is still tall.
