There is also a seaminess about the movie and a 'late night' feel that one cannot get away from. The revelation of the murderers was done well and I honestly did not expect almost everyone to be involved but it wasn't a shocker either.

So the lack of complexity and the fast moving story line gives the audience a watchable but not spectacular movie. There wasn't a heck of a lot to work with. Melodie Griffith stars as the defense attorney and I guess one's enjoyment of the movie will depend on how big a fan one is of Griffith because it seems like she is in almost every scene and though I had a difficult time buying her as a lawyer I did not think she was awful. One always knows exactly where this movie is going and it never fails to go there. The movie also moves Quite quickly and there are not many surprises. The main problems are the lack of believability through the whole movie as well as the predictable story line. I'd rate this neither as excellent or dreadful. Basically, this is a legal 'who done it' and it's pretty predictable all around but the plot, though unoriginal, is engrossing and keeps one watching. It's not a great picture but it's watchable.

SPOILERS THROUGH: I didn't think this was to bad.
