This film was so good! I thought I knew it all and that i guessed the plot twist but Christ does that film end immaculately!!!
If you like lawyer movies, this is a good one. It’ll keep you glued to the end with a surprise twist!!!
Great performance by Edward Norton. A classic 90s courtroom drama with a restrained take on Church-related sexual abuse.
This film has one of the greatest plot twists in the history of cinema..
Thriller with a standout performance by Edward Norton. The suspenseful plot and twists make it a must-watch film that I thoroughly enjoyed.
This movie genuinely made me shiver. It’s a purely riveting courtroom drama with an ending no one could’ve predicted. It’s a masterpiece.
Too late for early 90s feel but too early for a 2000s law n order feel. Brown & yellow to a T, dialogue perfectly cheesy. Norton incredible
Great story with stand out performance by Edward Norton. Don’t read anything just go in blind
I knew exactly where it was going from almost the beginning, but boy was it a lot of fun getting there.
Fantastic acting from Edward Norton. Has aged well and the twists did get me on my first watch for sure!
