Lebleena L Unexpected twists and turns in this case. I recommend this film. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/26/24 Full Review Gabriel S This movie won’t let you go until you know the whole truth. That’s its premise, and it is an interesting one if you are into trial procedurals. The Whole Truth follows defense attorney Ramsey trying to prevent that the son of an old friend, Mike, goes to jail for the murder of said old friend, which turns out to be Mike’s father. The complication is that Mike refuses to speak to Ramsey, so he has to come up with a clever defense technique. Two questions drive this movie: why is Mike not speaking? And the ultimate one: why did he kill his father? As aforementioned, you will have to know the whole truth before stopping. A great hook that keeps you locked into the screen waiting for the final revelation, which pays off, although a bit too smarty. The movie is not perfect, though, as one would expect. Fans of character development will notice there is pretty much none here, The Whole Truth is fully plot driven. There is no action either. The high stake for Ramsey is losing the trial and seeing the son of his old friend going into jail, maybe for life. The movie itself is the full trial, mainly a very long dialogue between multiple characters with somewhat deceiving yet revealing flashbacks of what happened, slowly showing us the truth. Then, again, thinking genre wise, this movie is a trial procedural, so lack of action is not surprising: think of this as the Acts 2b and 3 from shows like Law and Order, where we are seeing the prosecution. Overall, The Whole Truth delivers on its premise. A cleverly thought plot-driven story with minor pet peeves that is able to keep us hooked until the end. If you like the genre, this one is a good recommendation. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/17/24 Full Review Audience Member Interesting drama filmed like a story. Nothing spectacular. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/08/24 Full Review Alan G I dont think its as bad as many people have said. I would be a bit 'meh' if I had paid to see it but I saw it free on YT. Keanu R is watchable as ever. Its a bit dead overall but I quite like it. Characterisations are quite thin. Anyhow, not bad viewing for a rainy Saturday afternon at home. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/15/24 Full Review Audience Member Very slow all courtroom movie - if you’re bored, go for it. Interesting twist is the best part about this movie. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/14/23 Full Review Rigsby M Oh dear, this stinks quite a lot. Wish I'd read the reviews. I hoped that it would get better but it didn't. Keanu Reeves is so self aware, although he and the rest of the cast are fighting with a pretty appalling script. If you're looking for a court room drama then watch 12 Angry Men again. I can't believe that I watched it until the end. I didn't care about anyone and cared even less about the denouement.
