It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

I have not seen a film this good in a very long time! Well and intelligently written: good plot, witty dialogue, and interesting characters. Even the ending was a bit surprising.I would describe this movie as a legal & psychological thriller. By the time it was almost over, I had imagined several suspects including the attorney's assistant as the accused's lover! Yeah that was a bit over the top. Anyway, I was very impressed with the film. The only set back is I believe the actors could have been more polished, except for Sachin. All in all, it was good to watch an entertaining film on an otherwise boring Monday.P.S. There is no nudity in this film. I don't know why that other reviewer called it a porn film?????

This film was pretty bad - didn't feel like a "thriller" at all to me. The costume & scenery was great for a low budget Indy and the acting very good too, but the script stinks. By the end, I barely remembered the crime and didn't really care who did it, I just wanted this blather to end. The extreme amount of nudity and sex scenes is gratuitous borderline porn. By porn standards (and lack thereof), this would be a great film. For a mainstream flick, it is severely lacking in plot. Half way into the movie, I still really wasn't sure what the main story-line was supposed to be -- just a lot of nude scenes with some other court scenes sprinkled in (presumably to explain why everyone put their clothes back on only to later quickly take them off again). A Very disappointing flick.

The Advocate is a terrific criminal mystery film produced on a limited budget and excels in both categories. This film was well paced, with continual twists and turns that keep you fully engaged. Sachin Meta agonizes throughout, yet at times is also cool and in charge and at other times determined and doomed in his search for Absolute Justice. Is Kristine Klebe a beautiful heroine or is she a murderer; her story plays with you, at times you are sympathetic and at other times you are suspicious or disbelieving. It is a fascinating journey. The Advocate was remarkably well produced given its limited budget; and hard to imagine how much more powerful it could have been as a full blown Hollywood-style production. I would see it again.

I saw this film at a Film Festival at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood.Originality is rare commodity in film these days. It seems like everything has already been done. But this film has some ORIGINAL twists & turns. It's not predictable. That's because of the writing.And the old-fashioned Court Room Drama is a lost art. It's nice to see a film without explosions from time to time.The acting is believable.This is a smart movie. It's well-crafted and definitely worth seeing.
