Just as much as a mother loves her newborn baby, I love thrillers that take place in court, so to perhaps have a more objective picture of the score, you should take a half from me. In any case, I thought it was a great film, with a number of twists in the second half that you absolutely don't see coming (for example, you'll never guess who ultimately turns out to be the culprit). After a few misfires in films, Houten Klaas Reeves does a reasonable job here as a moving lawyer (although his slow voice over should not have been necessary). Unfortunately, Zeilweger is starting to look more and more like Marijke Helwegen's sister and gradually has to be protected from herself. Gugu is an added attraction and has talent, and good old Belushi himself is on hand to play another grubby, unsympathetic guy. And the somewhat fatter brother of Manuel Neuer also delivers a decent role, despite not coming close to Edward Norton who played a similar role in Prima Fear. So as far as I'm concerned, it's recommended.

After more than 100 court movies it becomes a bit like eating your favorite dish too often, but I still keep watching this one, when there's nothing else available so quickly.

The film itself is standard and the nice thing about these films is that they are always in the middle for me. There are some exceptions such as A Few Good Men. In this film you already know that the boy didn't do it, the surprise is at the end and is original in that respect.

Nice to see James Belushi again but that Renee Zellweger has changed. Only saw that it was her in the credits. It's typical that with such a striking face (she had) you let yourself be transformed like that, because pure nature certainly didn't work that way. Too bad because I liked her

Still good.

Even though the subject doesn't interest me much, court films miraculously interest me quite a bit. This is also very easy to watch, especially because 90% of it takes place in court and is therefore more fun.

Good roles from Reeves, Basso and Belushi. All 3 gentlemen act neatly and credibly, with a strong charm and their own face with the characters. Unfortunately, there are also some weaker roles that were somewhat redundant, such as Zellweger (unrecognizable) and Mbatha-Raw.

Film is pretty smooth, the court doesn't have a very exciting case and no matter how hard Hunt tries to make it all darker and more intense, it all remains the same level, but not much less entertaining really.

Movie is pretty good, I quickly started to wonder why the average is still so low here on MM, this was quite interesting to follow. Credible performance and a fine script. Visually not too special, but not really necessary for this.

Towards the end, the film actually reaches its high and low point. The wait for the result was a nail-biter, but the twist that follows was unnecessary and a bit dull. I didn't have to make the film even more "difficult".

Interesting film that succeeds quite well in what it is supposed to do, I got through it easily. Doesn't take too long (sometimes they want to go towards 150 minutes) but this one keeps most of it simple. The score is therefore above average.
