Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- One for anyone who likes watching someone settle a score and anyone who loves backroom deals and speeches. A revenge story, so expect the pressure to build to a reckoning. Shelve it next to The Client. Power and ambition drive every scene.
- The mood
- Tense, dark and gritty.
- The pace
- Lets scenes breathe, at 2 hr 1 min. It jumps around in time, so stay with it.
- What might put you off
- It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.
A judge falls from the roof of the Federal Courthouse. A woman is murdered. Between them and the three sons of the judge there is a connection that will be investigated by a woman judge who is determined to discover the truth.
