Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Right up the alley of anyone who likes watching an argument won and book lovers. The best scenes are battles fought with words. Same wavelength as Witness for the Prosecution or The Asphalt Jungle. Adapted from a book, so readers can compare notes.
The mood
Dark and gritty.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 37 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
  • Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.

An ailing barrister is thrust back into the courtroom in what becomes one of the most unusual and eventful murder cases of the lawyer's career when he finds himself defending a man being tried for the murder of a socialite.
