As in several other films, like the “Alien” trilogy for example, Hollywood’s customary treatment of characters when dealing with the big-bad corporation is to dispense with them, usually in a nasty manner. In other words, Hollywood seems to be sending the message – you can’t win with corporations – even if its warranted because they have the judicial system in their hip pocket.

Then there were the sleazy politicians and their handlers. Toward the end they were sitting in the Senator’s living room chatting about Thomas Craven’s (Gibson) visit earlier that day. Their demeanor was condescending and full of contempt for Det. Craven inferring ‘of course, he’s crazy’. I detected nothing unstable in Craven’s ultimatum to the Senator except his determination to get the truth, yet these dirtbags insinuate that Det. Craven is mentally unbalanced.

This is art imitating life since the U.S. government is trying desperately to criminalize any action pertaining to decency and morality.
