Clever twists and a bona fide surprise ending make this an above-average courtroom thriller, tapping into the post-O.J. scrutiny of our legal system in the case of a hotshot Chicago defense attorney (Richard Gere) whose latest client is an altar boy (Edward Norton) accused of murdering a Catholic archbishop. The film uses its own manipulation to tell a story about manipulation, and when we finally discover who's been pulling the strings, the payoff is both convincing and pertinent to the ongoing debate over what constitutes truth in the American system of justice. Making an impressive screen debut that has since led to a stellar career, Norton gives a performance that rides on a razor's edge of schizophrenic pathology--his role is an actor's showcase, and without crossing over the line of credibility, Norton milks it for all it's worth. Gere is equally effective in a role that capitalizes on his shifty screen persona, and Laura Linney and Frances McDormand give memorable performances in their intelligently written supporting roles. --Jeff Shannon

 Wonderfully Tense with Great Performances July 28, 2008
This is one of the best "lawyer" movies you'll ever see with fabulous performances by Richard Gere, Laura Linney, Frances McDormand and an absolutely Academy Award level performance by Edward Norton.
Sit back and enjoy!

This movie is very suspenceful through - out Keeping you very intriged with a surprise twist in the end. Every actor plays their role well in this movie exept for Edward Norton's debut. I think he steals the show. This movie is one of my favorite all - times.
Whose Tricking Who? March 13, 2008
Great movie! Top notch acting, perfect story with twists and one really big twist that makes you go... "wait... WHAT?! I need to re-think things here!" Richard Gere is awesome as a hot shot lawyer. Edward Norton... this is arguably his best role ever. He goes all out in this movie... from shy and quiet to... well, the exact opposite of that. He was very believable in this role. This is a great movie to watch with someone who has never seen it. It's a drama and you have to watch it to make sure you know what's going on, but if you get hooked into it right away this movie will seem like it's over very quickly. Time goes fast when you are enthralled. Get this movie if you haven't seen it yet. It's great.
