Just perfect...

Absolutely Brilliant!

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

In spite of the negative reviews, I decided to buy this movie as I am a great admirer of Samuel L. Jackson. I was deeply disappointed. The scenes are all so dark that you cannot even see his face, the D.A. is unappealing and, all considered, you are not swept in the plot. Yet, the story might have been presented beautifully.

Samuel L.'s performance was strong (as usual) however the rest of the movie was lacking. Too much of the plot was unbelievable (I'm sorry but the escape from the police station scene... yeah right) and the other actors were disappointing. It did have some exciting moments but, in the end, this movie was just another crime thriller without any real substance and with "inorganic" character development (I'm looking at you, Mr. Cooper). If you're looking for a movie to pass the time and keep you slightly entertained for an hour and a half, this fits the bill. Otherwise, I suggest you look elsewhere for something with a more believable plot and better acting.

Reasonable Doubt is a terrible movie with a very poorly developed storyline, and despite a talented cast, it wasn't enough to save this mess. I highly respect both Dominic Cooper and Samuel L. Jackson as actors and there was absolutely nothing wrong with their performances here, what was wrong is that their characters were underdeveloped, we never learn much about them beyond what's happening in front of us, and I found myself caring less about them as the story continued. The plot was not fully realised, it had potential, the summary alone caught my attention, but it was as if the production of this film was very rushed, like they wrote one script without and rewrites and just went with that, what you're left with is a fast paced movie that goes by so quickly it forgets to take its audience with them. As far as thrillers go, this will never have you at the edge of your seat, it had some exhilarating shots, the camera work was certainly impressive, but the story never becomes exciting, and even with a short ninety minute run I was still anxiously waiting for this film to end, maybe if it had been longer, didn't rush the story and character development as much, it myth have been worthwhile. Despite an impressive cast, Reasonable Doubt offers nothing original for fans of crime, thriller or drama and throws away any potential it had, you would be better off watching an episode of Law & Order. An ambitious lawyer is assigned to to prosecute a man accused of a crime he himself committed. Best Performance: Samuel L. Jackson

Another winning performance from the brilliant Samuel L. Jackson. This one kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. For me, this had it all...just the perfect amount of intrigue, suspense and nail-biting moments. I was drawn in right from the start. A job well done by the director and cast. Samuel always plays such an amazing bad-ass! I recommend giving this one a viewing...at least once. I never experienced a dull moment throughout the entire movie. Being a HUGE fan of Samuel...call me biased, but he, in my opinion delivers top notch performances in this type of role. He took this role and ran with it...ditto for his performance in Lakeview Terrace.A must-see....2 thumbs up!
