Acerca de esta película

Mike Weiss (Chris Evans) is a talented young Houston lawyer and a functioning drug addict. Paul Danziger (co-director Mark Kassen), his longtime friend and partner, is the straight-laced and responsible yin to Mike's yang. Their mom-and-pop personal injury law firm is getting by, but things really get interesting when they decide to take on a case involving Vicky (Vinessa Shaw), a local ER nurse, who is pricked by a contaminated needle on the job. As Weiss and Danziger dig deeper into the case, a health care and pharmaceutical conspiracy teeters on exposure and heavyweight attorneys move in on the defense. Out of their league but invested in their own principles, the mounting pressure of the case pushes the two underdog lawyers and their business to the breaking point.

MPAA Rating: R Rated R for drug use, language, some nudity and a sexual reference.

Cast: Chris Evans, Mark Kassen and Vinessa Shaw

I rented this movie because of the $0.25 price but I'm glad I did. Great movie. I did notice a few scenes where the camera was jiggling around a bit too much. Almost looked intentional but it was a little distracting. Rented from my Droid X and watched it later on my Sony Google TV box with the youtube app. (fyi - currently you cannot activate youtube purchases from the youtube app even though it will show up in search. You must first activate from a browser or Google Play Movies app from your mobile device and then you can watch from the youtube app)

I'm a nurse and still a majority of the needles in use aren't safety needles. What purpose did this story and law suit serve except to make one manufacturer and a few lawyers richer. Frontline medical staff are still getting stuck.

Not sure why people are so proud of this story. He did not even take the case to trial. Then, spitting in his face, his partner settles after his death instead of going to trial. Safety needles are still not in widespread use. This guy was just an out of control junkie.
