Critiques (2)
When I set aside the fact that the whole movie takes place in court, I must say that Keanu Reeves is a damn good lawyer. And I must add that what contributes a lot to my liking him even more is the fact that he has a good dubber. However, what people write about him on social networks also speaks for him, so there is no other way but to believe in this perfect person. He is simply a badass, and with him, an otherwise average courtroom drama caught a completely different drive.

At the beginning, it seemed quite promising that it could be a fairly good intricate courtroom case, but the more it unfolded, the more it seemed to me that it was poorly handled in terms of the screenplay. Keanu reprises his role from The Devil's Advocate, complete with the vomiting, there's a final twist, and after half an hour, you may realize that it really is Renée Zellweger here.
