Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

It's a pretty even movie with a nice factor of meh. The acting is okay from the leads but somehow better from the supporting cast members. They wanted desperately to throw a twist at the end and it doesn't pay off, more that it harms the film with its presence. It's not a good mystery plot and as a law film it's not overly interesting in that sense either. I watched it, but wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

I figured this one out within the first 30 minutes, and got confirmation a little later in the film. The twists were fully expected. Characterization was sorely lacking, as was the rest of the script.One day, I'm hoping Keano takes some acting lessons. This was a good movie for him, though, because the rest of the cast acted so poorly, that he was slightly better than they were. The judge was particularly stiff and unbelievable.In all, this was an hour and a half of my life which is gone forever.

Extremely tedious, with poorly written dialogues and crappy acting. Renee Zellweger,usually a fine actress, seems bored and annoyed playing this nonsense. Reeves is at his usual blankness. The actor who plays the defendant is just awful, a lizard has more facial expression than him. He's probably related to the producers. To be short, the plot twist in the end is ridiculous: if they already had the whole story made up (Renee killed his openly abusive husband in self-defense, after years of beating), why the hell did she let his son take the blame, even knowing that he would probably go to jail for life? What a nice mom! BTW, it seems really easy to get away with murder: he abused me, that's it, not guilty! Just terrible, don't waste an hour and a half of you life watching this. You have been warned

SPOILER!The movie delivers good performance from Reeves and Zellweger. Fans of a courtroom movies will like it. I was surprised that Reeves was holding the whole movie on his arms in the most of scenes. It is a challenge after movies like The Devil's Advocate. He is in shape and it's a nice change from sci-fi or action movies (Matrix, John Wick). Back to the 90's I would say. I would love to see him in more movies like that or like The Gift (2001).Contrary to other reviews, I believe that the ending was very predictable or not strong enough to make the movie good enough. The problem is that the movie is not as good as A Few Good Men or or A Time to kill. However, it was enjoyable. And I recommend it.
