There were a lot of ideas not put together well enough to make this movie make sense. Starting from the beginning of the movie. The wife apparently was on the decline healthwise for some time already so the fact that the dad would be angry enough to threaten death for an organization pulling a drug off the market was extreme.
They introduced too many "key" characters and did almost no developing of their story to really get an understanding of why the complexity of their issues ended up being the basic political bribe???
There were so many things not right about this movie that I think I will end it here. Sorry it's too much.
