Fun Stuff

Quotes:
Gwen Saticoy: [serving dinner for Hammond, which he hesitates to touch] ... Go ahead. See, I'm eating the poisoned one.
Merle Hammond: Why have you done this?
Gwen Saticoy: Maybe some of your court strategy rubbed off on me: to keep everyone off-balance... Why *did* you become a lawyer?
Merle Hammond: Because it required less time than becoming a doctor.
Gwen Saticoy: You almost became a doctor? Wow, scary thought... Have you ever loved anything?
Merle Hammond: The law. It's the best mistress I've ever had, with all these seductive rules and procedures that tempt the inquiring mind to figure a way around. And when you do, that feeling of conquest and victory... there's nothing else like it.

Taut thriller with a great story, 11 January 1999
10/10
Author: anonymous from Los Angeles

A surprisingly well-executed and dynamic thriller that is much better that any of the recent Grisham trial based films. Quick moving and suspenseful, this movie features a great performance by the devilish Michael McKean. The movie is about a woman who's brother is murdered and his murderer is let free. Then the victim's sister kidnaps the attorney who got the murderer off and eventually goes on trial for her freedom. The story twists and turns and the directing by Tommy Lee Wallace is top-notch. The musical score by Brian Tyler is especially terrific. The cinematography (didn't catch who did it) is also fantastic. I highly recommend this film if you get the chance to see it.
