Review
Ultimately, this “legal thriller” falls short of most. It delivers on a basic level, and is watchable. The actors, for the most part, are believable. Some decent cinematography is appreciated, though only used sparingly. Cheesy dialogue, and a bad story prevail in the piece, and keep it from becoming something more enjoyable. If one is in the mood for a similar piece, try Primal Fear (1996), Runaway Jury (2003), or Along Came a Spider (2001) instead. This movie will be relegated to afternoon viewings on cable television networks, and it will deliver what is expected of it, the bare minimum.
