I love when a movie can’t decide if it wants to be kinda wacky or deeply grim.
But anyway, I need to travel back in time to become the guy who writes the taglines for this movie:
The devil works hard; the devil’s lawyer works harder.
Time to plead the six six sixth.
Innocent until proven holy.
Heinous. The world would be better if this movie did not exist.
There are so many interesting things to say about journalism, liberalism, democracy, and violence, but they would be wasted on a film that is in turn vapid, treacly, and exploitative, yet only consistently idiotic.
There are two good moments in the film and they are the two Suicide needle drops. One of which is only good because it means the movie is over.
