Great stories do not necessarily make great movies... An intriguing tale of a manipulative lawyer who blackmails and extorts his wealthy and well-placed clientele at their moment of weakness. A seemingly stereotypical role for Spader. A surprise "Dark Shadows" actor also appears. Worthy, but requires a very patient audience.

This did not in any way "suspend disbelief". James Spader is a good bad guy, but the story line was absolutely going nowhere for the whole time. Very weak plot. C grade.

If you like James Spader it is a much watch. The story drags on at times. It a good movie to watch when you've nothing but Law and order reruns and informercials to watch.

I love James Spader so i rented this, but despite his compelling performance, this movie was terrible. The acting was awful and the script was predictable.

This should have stayed on TV. This movie is so lame that I didn't even make it more than 5-10 minutes into it. If I wanted to watch a "B" movie, I would have turned on the boob tube. Hell, this wouldn't even pass for a "B". Don't waste your time.

I was really dissapointed with the acting. Is that the director's fault? Who knows. However, the screenplay must have been great because the ending was very smart. Too bad all the other stuff gets in the way. Two stars because they really pulled off a great ending.
