The reporter guy running the case ...


Why do movies seem to think it is endlessly interesting for us to add a drinking/drug problem, to characters, or a broken marriage and kids? It's such a boring stereotype and there's really no point. Movies make it sound like exciting stuff only happens to screwed up people.

It gives them a credibility problem and let’s the character around him dismiss his story too easily.
