The film is also unsatisfactory in polishing some details. For example, at the beginning of the film, college students were taken to the detention center after being sexually assaulted, and then received threatening calls from gangsters on the spot. It is understandable that insulted female college students choose to withdraw their charges when their families are threatened, but the police's operation is hard to understand.
First of all, rape is not a case of private prosecution, and the right to withdraw the case is in the hands of the public security organs. Under the premise that there are obvious doubts in this case and the parties receive threatening calls in the detention center, it is totally unrealistic for the public security organs to withdraw the case.
In addition, Li Rui, the leading actor in this film, who was shrouded in the aura of the protagonist from beginning to end, still asked about the plot setting of the case after being suspended, which violated the relevant responsibilities of the procuratorate for public officials.
It is really hard for people to imagine that this is a film advertised as an adaptation of a real case, with high support for shooting and scriptwriting by prosecutors.
To put it bluntly, if "The Prosecution Storm" is regarded as a Hong Kong action suspense film, you can still get a passing grade. However, if this film is regarded as a legal propaganda film and television work adapted from a real case, the "Prosecution Storm" is still far from the passing score.
Summary of procuratorial storm
Prosecutor Li Rui (Johnny) sneaked into the nightclub of Liu Cheng rich businessman Chen Xin (Bao Beier), looking for evidence of Chen Xin's crime, and accidentally found a female college student curled up in the corner. And Chen Xin, with his wealth and absolute monarch, keeps doing evil. The nightclubs under his name are really Petri dishes for criminals, harboring a lot of vicious people.
He illegally collected money by borrowing campus loans privately and raped female college students persecuted by campus loans. After the incident was exposed, he threatened the life of the student's family to force the victim to withdraw the lawsuit to escape the punishment of the law, and finally forced the female college student to commit suicide, which was shocking.
With the progress of the case, the prosecutor Li Rui gradually got involved in the huge interest network behind him, and the complicated case surfaced. The appearance of the defendant's defense lawyer Tong Chenyu (played by Bai Baihe) makes this dangerous prosecution road more and more confusing. These two men diamond cut diamond, all roads lead to the same goal, just let the facts speak for themselves.
Is Xia Wei (Claudia), a university professor, a murderer or a victim? How to find out the hidden mystery between her and Chen Xin? Will she choose silence or call a spade a spade in the face of prosecutor Li Rui and defense lawyer Tong Chenyu? Crime is rampant under the cover of layers of fog, and every minute counts.
