High-profile lawyer Mark Hunter (Michael Douglas of WALL STREET: MONEY NEVER SLEEPS, WALL STREET, FATAL ATTRACTION) has an impeccable record putting criminals behind bars and is a shoo-in for governor in the upcoming election. But when ambitious rookie journalist C.J. (Jesse Metcalfe of TV's DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES) begins investigating him for tampering with evidence to secure his convictions, the district attorney's perfect record is up for scrutiny. Commencing a risky game of cat-and-mouse with Hunter, C.J. frames himself as a murder suspect to catch the corrupt D.A. in the act. Romantically involved with C.J. but unaware of his assignment, assistant D.A. Ella Crystal (Amber Tamblyn of 127 HOURS) becomes caught between her boss' political ambitions and her boyfriend's dangerous exposé. As mounting evidence stacks up against both men, Ella's own life becomes threatened when she discovers incriminating proof that puts the fate of both C.J.'s innocence and Hunter's reputation in her hands.

Graderings en resensies

I had high hopes for this movie, but the plot was very dry and the scenes did not flow well together. Although the story had great potential, the way in which the movie was directed lacked depth. Sad to give this a low rating but I learned not every Michael Douglas is going to be a hit.

Haven't seen a movie with this plot before. Like it as much as law abiding citizen.

Great twist
