With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Aimed squarely at anyone drawn to the darker side of the street and people who like their stories with a little heart-flutter. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something. Liked The Wild One? This is a good next one.
- The mood
- Funny with heart, romantic.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 22 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1941: an older pace and style.
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
A bucolic lawyer takes on big-city corruption, setting out to prove that an above-suspicion politician is actually a crook - all while falling in love with the politician's daughter.
