On a hot summer afternoon in New York, Emma Jones gossips with other neighbors in her residential building about the affair that Mrs. Anna Maurrant and the milkman Steve Sankey are having. When the rude and unfriendly Mr. Frank Maurrant arrives, they change the subject. Meanwhile, their teenage daughter Rose Maurrant is being sexually pressured by her married boss Mr. Bert Easter. She does however very much like her kind young Jewish neighbor Sam, who has a serious crush on her.
The next morning, Frank Maurrant tells his wife that he is traveling to Stamford on business. Mrs. Maurrant meets the gentle Sankey in her apartment, but out of the blue Frank comes back home. He realizes his wife is upstairs with Sankey, and runs upstairs. We hear shots and see the two men struggling as Sankey tries to escape through the window. Maurrant runs out with a gun. He has killed Sankey and fatally wounded his wife.
Maurrant is apprehended and is led away by police. He apologizes to his daughter Rose, who will now have to take care of herself and her young brother without either parent. Rose's boss offers once again to set her up in her own apartment, but she refuses. Then she sees Sam, and tells him she wants to leave the city. Sam pleads with her to let him go with her, but she tells him it will be better for the two of them to have a couple of years apart before they consider becoming a couple. Rose walks off down the street by herself.

韩国政治家都是专业的演说家、优秀的表演家、野心的操纵家，如果背后再有个高智商的影子策划家，那么这一场场的选举终将成为没有硝烟的战场。而且战火还是相当激烈的！李善均的音色依然充满磁性，好听到爆！因为两位优秀的男主，相比《南山部长》，更喜欢这部！
故事完整而紧凑，导演的运镜非常讲究，光线明暗教科书级别的调度。双男主的对手戏拳拳到肉，薛景求内敛而又有力的表演，李善均也并不逊色，韩国的政治片真是世界顶级水平。
比如，以往我们看到，一个被毁得家破人亡的凡人要么诉诸法律复仇，要么以正义的方式快意恩仇，那么，他可不可以以更加卑鄙，更加邪恶的方式施以报复，以彼之道数倍还施彼身，面对邪恶，用更邪恶的方式，以怨怨怨怨报怨，是不是故事将更加精彩，也更加发人深省。
①:那個正義要是一個人的正義怎麽辦?
政治是肮脏的玩意，尤其在韩国七、八十年代。所谓“正义”，永远属于赢者！
世界是复杂的，在尔虞我诈中还能坚守初心，也是不易。
Politics is a bloody hole of mystery. Never get involved into it if you’re trying to keep pure and idealistic.
我以为最后肖去做卧底，最后再反转一把，不是更好。李的表演更有层次感。
一个负责理想和报复，一个负责赢，现实是出发的久了往往忘了初心
韩国选举的内幕,完成度还不错,在这类题材中,首推日本的金环蚀,但以一个影子为主角难得一见,大开眼界,金光闪闪的事物背后都有见不得人的阴暗,政治就是一场肮脏的游戏。金大中的形象塑造的不错。7.4
而精英民主，不过是笑话罢了。
前半还是很好看的，拍摄和剪辑都很有意思。但是前后多少有些矛盾，前面主角们信誓旦旦地说为了正义可以不择手段，后面又开始可怜巴巴地为了良心不能这么做。对于南山部长和纸牌屋爱好者来说，这部主角们的善和恶都不够彻底，所以最后输掉竞选完全在意料之内。
3.5分。一对亦师亦友的政坛新秀，目标一致但价值观截然相反，最后难免分道扬镳；政治家和政客这两个概念的巨大区别；韩国人真敢拍：把政治斗争的那种黑暗、你死我活都赤裸裸的展露出来了。
开始说养鸡的那个男演员以后会起飞吧，都很眼熟他了，犯罪都市里是个龙套，极限职业里演了个主要角色，还演过娑婆诃
格调、立意，故事性与思想性都能兼顾。就拍摄技术上，他们的特写对人物皮肤的处理，光影的应用，显得质感十足。
柏拉图说，
韩国每年必出一部描写政治的影片。这部影片让我们知道了在六七十年代那个政治黑暗中，还是有许多人在为了自己的理想再努力，尽管有时候无能为力？
我想说：这些人精能肆意妄为地欺骗民众、大谈政治，却看不清自己。徐都能无所不用其极地去追求自己内心的“理想”了，却不愿认可、不愿加入执政党一派，诚然推倒“独裁”这是多么荣耀的理想追求呀，但其实只要经济繁荣、能让百姓平安喜乐也就够了，有机会借这平台为百姓谋福祉也是好的。金都靠着徐爬到这高度了，却还坚持着“大义”而不认可徐的方式，所以输了
气度不足。但是演技好厉害～赵宇镇演得太好，真想抽这个李室长。
