Viewing Notes

A really nicely done courtroom drama/thriller. And Marisa Tomei just gets sexier with age!

Matthew McConaughey acquits himself well in the lead role here. All of the main characters, save the antagonist, are nicely fleshed out with plenty of depth, and it’s done in a way that isn’t all exposition, leaving the audience to infer the complexities of their relationships and past histories. That’s rare in movies these days, so it deserves to be noted when come across.

I did feel that the antagonist was pretty flat and one-dimensional. Maybe that was on purpose, because who wants to identify with a psychopath.
