Set on the cusp of the 19th century in Delhi before the British ruled in that region, the drama depicts the fortunes of the residents of Beecham House, an imposing mansion surrounded by acres of exotic woods and pristine lawns. Tom Bateman (Vanity Fair, Jekyll and Hyde) takes the role of enigmatic, soulful John Beecham, a handsome former soldier who has purchased the magnificent mansion, Beecham House, to begin a new life with his family. Wealthy and distinguished, John has witnessed profiteering and exploitation during his time with the controlling East India Company and has resolved to conduct his business as a trader in a more equitable manner. Determined to escape his previous life, John appears haunted by his past, but is inspired to become an honourable member of the region’s trading community. In spite of John’s good intentions his life is shrouded in mystery and when he arrives at the house with an ‘olive-skinned‘ child named August and two Indian nursemaids, Chanchal (Shriya Pilgaonkar) and Maya (Trupti Khamkar), it causes speculation and gossip amongst the servants that he may be the boy’s father. One of the Indian nursemaids, the beautiful Chanchal, is overly protective and particularly fond of the child. Could she be John’s lover and the mother of August? Lesley Nicol (Downton Abbey) is John’s robust, interfering mother Henrietta who has travelled from England to India to stay with her son. She is accompanied by a young family friend Violet, played by Bessie Carter (Les Miserables) who she is determined to help form a union with John. The pair are accompanied by an old friend of John’s, Samuel Parker, played by Marc Warren (Safe, Hustle) who has also left the East India Company and has returned to India for a fresh start. Samuel helps John to find his brother Daniel who he has not seen for 10 years. John convinces Daniel, Leo Suter, (Victoria) to leave the East India Company and join him at Beecham House. Gregory Fitoussi (Mr Selfridge, Spiral) plays General Castillon, a French mercenary working for the Emperor at a time when the French are challenging the East India Company for India. Castillon is suspicious of John and his motives and conspires to stop John being granted a trading licence. Adil Ray (Citizen Khan, Ackley Bridge) is John’s neighbour Murad Beg who dislikes General Castillon intensely and agrees to help John secure a trading licence. Murad’s daughter, Roshanara, (Kanika Kapur) has an English governess Margaret Osborne, played by Dakota Blue Richards (Endeavour) whose beauty and intelligence catches John’s attention. However, when beautiful Chandrika (Pallavi Sharda) arrives at Beecham House with her entourage she is shown to luxurious guest quarters and immediately insists on seeing August. What secrets does Chandrika bring with her to Beecham House?
DEH还是这样温暖治郁。期待了很久，能看到Ben platt 再演Evan，听到一首首原曲，还是很激动，尤其是you will be found 不论听过多少遍，在那一幕还是很好哭，还有最后Words fail和so big so small真正救赎太棒了。不过节奏不太电影，不如音乐剧抓人。整体挺好的其实。Just keep going
看的时候会想到《黑水》，但这部片就拍得挺平淡的，顺着时间线讲了个故事，让人骂两句无良厂商、官商勾结之类的。演员其实表现也平平，金相庆的表演好像一直是这种无起伏状态，李先彬实在是不行，好几场戏都想吐槽…
同样的题材，同样的煽情角度，韩国影人来拍，看得出真的很会拿捏，演员的台词让影片节奏的冲击力拉满，几次意料之外的转折都算得上是点睛之笔。
拍的一般，浪费了题材，话说同样的情节，中国也可以拍个三聚氰胺版本
棒子真的敢拍，这个世界还有很多东西都是资本在操控运作，只是没人敢提或者提了石沉大海罢了。题材很好，内容很闷，包括中间的反转，本是反派的李突然化身奇异博士，只有一种办法能赢，显得有点仓促，最后十分钟的政客之间互相推诿也是点睛之笔，凸显了本片平民与资本的战争。但很多东西过于的理想化，以及中间调查取证的博弈，并没有太多去烘托那种绝望的气氛，让这片不及另外几部真实事件改编的韩国片。
细想想，世界人口60亿，作为其中之一，真的是小到可以忽略不计，足够渺小和无用。
3.5。反转挺意外的，加分。现实非常令人绝望，无论在那国。。。
结尾字幕很震撼，受害者人数达到95万人，约2万人死亡。2万人，大公司+ZF监管部门，这是在杀人啊！很讽刺的是，这永远不会是最后一次。
即便这个片子质量真的不值一提，但人家就是能拍敢拍，就这一层面来看，“值得”两个字都说累了。
大众商品出了问题后果真的很严重，可怕的是人们或许根本无法把这些不幸联想起来。
没有音乐剧那么感人🥺但是表演会细腻一些？有生之年我能看到官摄吗🥺去现场也行
相比较其他同类型作品 略显不足 过于平淡 记忆点不多 商业气息较重
可笑的是，如果不是敌人内部出了问题，我们是打不赢的
电影本身潦草一般，女演员也撑不起来女律师的角色，可其中的意义值得多加一星。不知道良知缺失的人是因为没良心才坐上高位，还是因为坐上高位后没良心呢
7分。有些作品，不可以完完全全用影视语言去单独衡量，尤其是社会意义大于影片本身的。别人，有呈现伤痛的宽松语境，有还原真相的可为之道，有说“No”的勇气……有太大太大我们所望尘莫及的差距。
中规中矩韩式揭露黑暗现实的电影，节奏有点拉，就徐科长真实身份和目的揭露那里有点意思
联想到了 我国的三氯氰胺事件， 对环境为啥食品安全的问题一定不能马马虎虎，要为每一项标准负责，不能赚黑心钱
相比较其他同类型作品 略显不足 过于平淡 记忆点不多 商业气息较重
各种所谓的反转满满的都是套路，没有新意，作为棒子的戏这个也就在及格线上下！
这个国家能够拍这样的电影，这个国家是应该去高兴、骄傲和自豪的，李光洙女友独担大女主演技有明显进步，改编自真实事件，故事的框架和《辩护人》的有些许近似，不过整体的感觉稍微有点平，反转剧情在电影老炮儿的预料之中，结尾的燃情是着实有些意外和惊喜，讽刺的点很多，最厉害的有两点：1.死了美国人案件才有机会开庭审理，管你之前死了多少本土；2.国字号审批的产品，掌权人知其猫腻不会用，唯有百姓随便伤害，都是鱼肉随便鱼肉罢了。QJ
