See more Claudio C May 30 Beyond a Reasonable Doubt (2009) The Almost Perfect Crime (11,730 – 30 May 2025 – by Claudio Carvalho) The ambitious investigative journalist C.J. Nicholas (Jesse Metcalfe) works with his best friend Corey Finley (David Moore) in a newspaper in Louisianna. He suspects that the DA Mark Hunter (Michael Douglas), who is the favorite to be the next governor, is corrupt and plants evidence to win the cases. He flirts with Hunter’s assistant Ella Crystal (Amber Tamblyn), and one night she sees the award he won in Buffalo, New York. He explains that his documentary about a pregnant hooker projected his name, reason why he is now in Louisianna, and gives a copy to Ella. Nicholas plots a scheme to prove that Hunter tampers with the evidence, and Finley agrees to work with him. When a prostitute is murdered in a park, he learns from his friend, Detective Ben Nickerson (Orlando Jones), the evidence the police have. Three days later, he buys the same items and Finley films the shopping with the newspaper of the day. During the trial, Hunter forges the evidence, and Finley goes home to bring the DVD he made to show in the court. However, his house was invaded and the DVD stolen by Hunter’s accomplice, Lieutenant Merchant (Lawrence P. Beron). Finley heads to the safety box in a bank to bring the backup copy, but Merchant hits his car and kills him. Without the proof, Nicholas is sentenced to death. Now his only chance is Ella investigation of the case while he is in the death row. “Beyond a Reasonable Doubt” (2009) is remake of Fritz Lang’s film-noir from 1956. Many viewers, including me, do not like remakes but this one is not bad. It is an update of the plot, with a great performance from Michael Douglas. The performances of Jesse Metcalfe, Amber Tamblyn and David Moore are also good, despite some bad reviews from haters. In the end, “Beyond a Reasonable Doubt” (2009) is worthwhile watching. My vote is seven. Title (Brazil): “Acima de Qualquer Suspeita” (“Ábove Any Suspect”) My Blog: https://maniacosporfilme.wordpress.com/ See more Alain E @AlainE 12/17/2024 For whatever reason this movie has been victim of mob violence. If you read the professional reviews you end up wondering if we all watched the same movie. In reality this is an expertly constructed whodunnit, but only in the very last scene it is revealed what exactly was going on. Some reviewers claim that they could see it far in advance. Their foresight is being wasted in their present occupation. Expertly photographed and edited this is a very enjoyable movie. The only weak point I found is the unnecessarily long car chase scene in the middle. See more A.L.Jude P @judebd 11/18/2024 Feel much better than the original and it deserves accolade. See more w Scott c 07/18/2024 Definitely a long version of a law and order episode. The court decorum is atrocious. They had to stick some romance in to relate to the female audience. A made for tv movie. See more Read all reviews
