Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

jrwp The story is completely idiotic and absurd. It is a film made only to keep you attention. No intelligence.

vincentlynch-moonoi Legal cases in court are about winning. But, most films make the mistake of over-hyping the roles of opposing counsel. Usually one lawyer is a scheming wacko who is over the top in his role. Or, if that's not the tack, then the judge is dishonest or wacko. Neither is true here. Both lawyers seem eager to determine the truth, meaning the story is more about the murder than the trial, even though most of the film is spent in the courtroom. I find that refreshing.In this film, Keanu Reeves is clearly no longer young. He's at best middle aged, and creeping up toward late middle age. In other words, he's 53 and he looks it. His acting here was better than usual. I enjoyed his performance, but then again I usually do. Personally, I think he's an underrated actor, though I would not go so far as to say he is a "great" actor.And then there's Renée Zellweger. I didn't recognize her. She looks more than her48 years her, and just plain worn out. Although, with this plot, that's appropriate.To be honest, I'm not sure how I feel about her performance here.I used to sorta like James Belushi. Nuff said.Gabriel Basso, who plays the teen up for murder, does nicely here. I imagine we'll be seeing lots more of him.The twist at the end (we all knew there had to be one) did surprise me. Not what I was thinking all along. Enjoy it!Is it a great film? no. But it's quite good, and very serious minded.

yannigk The Whole Truth: courtroom drama with Keanu Reeves starring as a lawyer trying to defend a young man who allegedly killed his father but refuses to speak.It has a pretty interesting script. The plot twist, somewhat predictable near the end, is just almost good enough to offset the monotonous first half of the movie. Keanu's wooden expression actually worked. Rene Zellweger looks so sullen... but then we get a reminder of why she won an Oscar many years ago. All-in-all the premise of the movie is interesting and the tidbits of facts thrown in between the court scenes reveals just enough at the right time.It's a passable lawyer movie, if you can get past the talking-heads first half of the movie. After three consecutive witnesses were put on stand, I heard some snoring in the theatre 😆

antoniotierno Many of the relevant details in this story come from flashback sequences out of the courtroom. As a result, the memories are assembled into a clear hierarchy that's less about how these memories work and more about giving a clear plot framework. The cast of "The Whole Truth" is convincing on the whole, the best being probably Belushi but R. Zellweger very good as well. Maybe the final twist leaves a little to be desired but the story holds water on the whole. Not an extremely original court movie but well acted and directed.
