Confusing crime story where pretty much everyone is the bad guy...

Original sound = mono, version I watched 2.0 1st watched 6/4/2022 - (Dir-William Berke): Confusing crime story where pretty much everyone is the bad guy including the girl. The movie starts with a car crash while being chased by police, where two of the three main characters die, and the one survivor tells the story of how everything went down. A lawyer who is hoping to become district attorney is the main character of the story. He hires a new secretary at the advice of a friend, which starts the problem. This secretary is the surviving one from the car crash. The lawyer is obviously working with crime leaders in the city which he believes will get him the job he wants. Unfortunately, there are more than one crime group that are fighting each other one as far as who they want to be the new district attorney. This is pretty much all I understood about the story --- if these points were even correct. The acting is sub-par, and the idea that no-one was really the good guy except the police - who weren't the main part of the story kind of makes it so you don't know who to route for. The reporters were even apart of the evil in this one. Bypass this, unless you are just a major fan of the genre.
