Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Unlimitedia Sick Product of a Sick System

PodBill Just what I expected

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

davyd-02237 Given the fact that this appeared on a Christian channel, our house expected this to have something ultimately it did not have. May I suggest, you do NOT waste your time. There isn't 1 redeeming feature within the 95 minutes of this film which is actually hugely disappointing and has little to do with Christianity. There are many many other things you can find to do in the 95 minutes this lasts which will be more beneficial than sitting through it. The ending, in my view, isn't really that believeable

elbonian00-218-882971 Several of the cast members appear in other movies (Remember the Titans, the Ultimate Gift) and it's good to see them continuing to contribute to the motion picture arts even in a 2nd tier movie. The plot is classic Southern courtroom drama, and appropriately, a little drawn out and deliberative. Several plots intertwine in this film (don't they always?), and so the film's title is really a double meaning: There is a courtroom "trial", and at the same time, the lead actor (Modine) is undergoing trials on the personal and professional level. This film won't be hailed as in the same ilk as Grisham, but it doesn't assert itself to be. Watch it for the personal trial, not the courtroom trial, and you'll catch the intended meaning. Definitely will recommend it to my friends.

movie-viking A fairly good story...about a young man facing the death penalty for a murder he says he didn't commit."You have NO memory, NO alibi, and NO explanation..." says his defense lawyer.The defense lawyer (Matthew Modine) lost his wife and two sons in a car accident a few years before...Movie opens on him...in his empty home...he's ready to pull the trigger and kill himself. Till the phone rings...and he's assigned this murder case.The prosecutor is an older, experienced man who has previously beaten the defense lawyer...Prosecutor rigorously pursues the death penalty. I do agree with one reviewer above...At some point, the dramatic tension DROPS because you learn too early...who the real villain is... and that the real villain will be exposed. Is a moderately entertaining TV movie...and does bring up the fact that not only Rohipnol (the date rape drug) but a similar drug...can be used to knock a woman...or a man...out! (The date rape scenario is handled with minimum detail and no scenes in the movie show the crime. Suitable for grade school and above aged children.)

desolationtango This movie should come with a label warning the viewer that the only people who will enjoy it will also enjoy sitting through a two hour church service with no singing and no suspense, while they listen to their pastor summarize his previous 20 sermons.What has happened to Matthew Modine? This is not the same actor I saw in Full Metal Jacket or Vision Quest.There should also be a warning that nothing in the movie will have anything in common with a real trial. I could have done a better closing in my sleep.I'm embarrassed I watched it. I could have spent the evening cutting my wrists and letting the blood out one drop every 15 minutes. It would have been much more interesting. The movie is as dull as my review.
