Did anyone else just think this movie just lacked a decent understanding

My issue with the movie isn't the it being pro or anti gun. My biggest issue is that it grossly misrepresents lobbying in D.C. and what lobbyists and American culture are like? Maybe because I grew up around lobbyist or two. Anyone else get that or is the movie forevor doomed to have 10 stars or 1 stars because people can't put personal politics aside long enough to watch a movie.

Hmmmm, the script was vetted by a number of professional DC lobbyists you said the represent was fair. It is a movie so liberities were taken, as it is a thriller and piece of entertainment. But, as movies go, the research and representation of the lobbying was not considered to have been poorly done. But, like any industry, someone can have a different perspective on it.
