Member Rating:  
Sidney Lumet directed this Larry Cohen-scripted courtroom procedural that owes more than it should to Jagged Edge. Jennifer Haines (Rebecca De Mornay), one of the top female lawyers in the country and flush from the success of defending a gangster, has a new client to defend. A suave ladies man in an Armani suit, David Greenhill (Don Johnson) has come to solicit Jennifer's services. It seems that his rich socialite wife has been pushed to her death through an open window, and David stands to inherit a very large fortune. Needless to say, David is a prime suspect in his wife's murder. David admits to Jennifer the he is a womanizer and an oily manipulator, but nevertheless Jennifer decides to take his case as a challenge -- as she puts it: "People who are guilty are rarely this blunt." The result is an intricate chess game between Jennifer and David as they manipulate events, other people, and each other in order to determine the guilt or innocence of the playboy widower. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

I thought it ws a tense, exciting movie that held my interest all the way through. Was not a great fan of Don Johnson but I thought he was excellent in this. Rebecca De Mornay of course was good as usual. Really liked this.

This film was superficial at best but nevertheless interesting in its own way...this is the first time I've seen Don Johnson play the baddee and he did it well...Rebecca De Mornay does equally a good job in her role.. however the film lacks a certain conviction in the motivation arena... it's all too slick to be believable and would never really happen..so it's pure fantasy and so it goes...at least 21/2 stars for the fantasy...

I wanted to turn it off out of bordem a couple of times, actually fast fowarded through some, but waited it out to get to an end not too exciting. DeMornay's beautiful eyes kept me from hitting stop.

This is one of the better legal dramas I have seen. Don Johnson is pure evil. This is a very good example of the flaw in a "justice system" where the "job" of the defense attorney is to get the client off. A trial is supposed to be the means whereby we arrive at THE TRUTH. Oh, well...it is what it is. Excellent movie.

Not a bad legal drama, kept wondering how each twist and turn was going to play out. I think you'll like it, I would have done the ending different.

So bad that I got up and walked out of the theater. Should have demanded a refund.
