The story of this movie is great. it has great characters, great story line, and an unending you won't see coming. The execution of this movie was horrendous. It's set out in a courthouse with witness testimony with the occasional flashback. Criminal court is absolutely boring to sit through in real life, the only thing making it better on big screen is that the testimony is significantly condensed. Because the story is told in an such an uninteresting method, you end up feeling bored despite the story being actually interesting. This would've been better shown with scenes of the trials and in depth flashbacks to the incidents separate from witness testimony. . Also, I know the law changes depending on where you go. But, pretty sure you can't leave confidential legal files scattered around a motel room where any maid can walk in and read it. Sounds like reasonable grounds for disbarment to me. . It was also strange to see Jim Belushi in not a comedy.

The legal advisor must have been asleep during filming, the keano narrative is idiotic, the film tries to provide "oooh ahhhh" moments that a fall flat every single time. Total waste of time making this movie.

This has to be the worst ever courtroom drama ever i have ever seen in my whole life. There no plot and the twist at the end is really laughable. Take my words, avoid this turkey with a 10 meter pole you will thank me for it. Any the practice episode is better than this turkey of a movie.1/10 , if there's a minus 10 points i would give it -10.

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.
