“I wish that those members would use their votes, not in the interest of their political advancement, but for what they believe is right for their country. But I know my wishes are wasted. And that this will never happen. Because our system is rotten.”

Salah satu film underrated kalau menurut saya. Jarang sekali yang tahu dan membahas soal film ini, padahal bahasan dan topik politik yang diangkat dikemas dengan baik.

I think Elizabeth Sloane should become a new “literally me” character like Patrick Bateman and Tyler Durden.
