Reasonable film about a lawyer who has a secret relationship with a married client of hers. Credibility is sometimes hard to find (in several respects). But this makes the film (unintentionally) somewhat entertaining (including the moments in which the main character talks to himself). It doesn't get boring and the plot is entertaining. A narrow 3.0 stars.

A lawyer has a budding relationship with one of her clients accused of ties to a porn studio that employs underage girls. Not much later he is found murdered.. This was a thriller that had some suspenseful moments and was mostly about the whodunnit. It is a pity that the film does not rise much above an average TV film. With names like Hershey and Shepard I expected it to be stronger, but I still enjoyed it quite a bit. So a solid mid-engine.
