Movie Review
A Supreme Court Justice takes his own life. A woman is found dead - the victim of a grisly murder and a homeless Vietnam vet stands accused. The Washington D.C. public defender assigned to the case and a lobbyist on the jury team up - a violation of the law - to find the real truth no matter the cost, no matter the danger. A courtroom thriller about an exhausted public defender who is saddled with an impossible case: clearing a deaf-mute Vietnam vet vagrant of a murder charge. All the odds seem to be against her until one of the jurors, a seductive, if rather slippery, Washington lobbyist, decides to help her by searching for clues himself. In between bouts of snappy verbal sparring, the unlikely team uncovers a sinister conspiracy. |
