      Audience Member Near solid courtroom drama - there's plenty of the latter, with just a couple of plot holes in the former. The film manages to get across the strict practices of law as well as some of the gossip of those outside the process to suggest the protagonist is guilty as charged throughout the film before any verdict is even given. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
