A court room drama as a family lawyer represented a teen who fatally stabbed his father. Viewers were led into the case and watched the secrets unfold through the eyes of the second chair attorney brought in on day-one of the…

This is one of the worse courtroom movies I've seen, even Perry Mason was better than this. The script is really good but the directing leaves much to be desired, too many pauses and the son not talking and then telling a story on the…

My main concern with this film is that it was rated G on the box. In my opinion, it is not at all suitable for a general audience. Because of the violent behaviour and sex scenes, I would give it a "R" rating. The plot was good and…

Excellent courtroom drama, with particular emphasis on how lawyers perceive jurors and how jurors perceive the truth.
The only downside to me is that there isn't much hinging on the outcome. With something like the Scopes trials, the…

A good courtroom drama with fewer procedural gaffs than most. The ever-wooden Keanu R. is suited for the role of a rather wooden lawyer, and Renée Z. makes quite a transformation as a washed-out femme d'un certain age. All of this takes…
