Such a frustrating disappointment
It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
The Hitchcockian plot is kind of perfect for a fun-little-detective-movie, but this film just does not get it right. The dialogue, the police work, the court room scenes...are all totally unbelievable. If you can suspend your disbelief enough you might enjoy the ride. I couldn't get past it.
There is a reasonable doubt that Samuel L Jackson was back on some rent or mortgage payment because there is no reason he'd be apart of this abomination if not to pay someone off. The plot is predictable, and you know how it will end in the first minute of the film. Its not even good escapist fun. (Avoid it)
10 minutes of closing credits! 13 percent of the this film is either closing credits or beginning credits. This movie is really 75 minutes...more like an episode for TV.What's the deal with the accent/dialect of the lead actor? He clearly sounds not American. What's with all the trend with movies putting British actors as Americans who can't do an American accent? The movie is OK. More like an episode of CSI than anything else but you have to get past the wonky accents. Very detracting from the story as a whole. It seems all the movies have these crappy British actors in movies doing crappy American accents in them.
In this excellently done movie, Sam Jackson plays the vigilante villain who murders! This is an unusual twist but on the fateful night that the DA becomes involved with an accident the story line is just tremendous. Each character does a wonderful job acting and the at the end you can't help but see the intention of the villain who really wants to end his life and has set it up so that the DA understands his feelings inside but also sets him up to take the rap. The DA is so clever and smart he actually figured out the correct answers and thus was able to ease his own conscience and focus to investigate. The man who plays the DA is excellent at showing the actual emotions that he faces with guilt, discovery, investigation, family loyalty and sentiment all facially, this is a rare quality that actors have. One actress who can do this is Demi Moore, she can with just face show any kind of emotions...this man was able to do this as well. The movie was intriguing, exciting, suspenseful, and creatively done. Bravo on the director and the casting! Samuel Jackson is always a sure bet but the DA is a surprising new and upcoming wonderful player! This move held the attention and was not so violent that you wanted to change the channel! It shows good vs evil and the integrity of the DA! Again the DA did a wonderful job with this one!! A must watch if you like suspenseful intrigues and law focused movies.
