Acerca de esta película

Defense attorney Richard Ramsay (Keanu Reeves) takes on a personal case when he swears to his widowed friend, Loretta Lassiter (Renée Zellweger), that he will keep her son Mike (Gabriel Basso) out of prison. Charged with murdering his father, Mike initially confesses to the crime. But as the trial proceeds, chilling evidence about the kind of man that Boone Lassiter (Jim Belushi) really was comes to light. While Ramsay uses the evidence to get his client acquitted, his new colleague Janelle (Gugu Mbatha- Raw) tries to dig deeper – and begins to realize that the whole truth is something she alone can uncover.

The story was interesting in that we wanted to know what was going to happen so it kept us engaged. It just seemed to have something missing. Some characters seemed to be frivolous and under-developed. It was a good thing it was a fairly short movie as it was interesting but not super exciting and the characters were for the most part boring.

I'm probably partially bias because I'm a big fan of courtroom dramas and Keanu Reeves, but overall I enjoyed the story and the twist at the end. I won't spoil it but I legitimately didn't see it coming. I think the acting was up to par with what I expect from a movie with Reeves and everyone did a great job making it realistic and convincing. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who's a fan of this genre.

I really thot the wife did it. but this is Hollywood so the twist is that the wife was having an affair from her abusive husband who just happens to be the defense lawyer for the son who is accused and tried for murder. The son is acquitted and the killer lawyer and the widowed wife live happily ever after
