I wanted to see this after watching the new Apple+ adaptation, which was so good I stayed up hours past my bedtime to finish in one binge session. However, during this movie, I could hear my bed calling my name, and I was ready to answer the call. I didn't, but I wanted to.
The movie is fine in an early 90s courtroom way. I prefer Harrison Ford to be more of a charming rascal, so this character didn't do anything for me. It was slow moving, and nothing that happened was particularly satisfying. Is just not my style. I loved that Gomez Addams was in it though.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A slick legal thriller where the machinery of the law becomes a trap for the man at its center. Betrayal and infidelity coil tighter with each revelation, leaving you never quite sure who to trust.
