Dr Jacques COULARDEAU You will believe in it all along and at the end you will say you knew it all the time, but you will be lying and you must not tell a lie because you are under oath, and you have cut the cherry tree down, really and indeed.It is not another film on justice, on the "miscarriage" of a prosecution and the biased bigotry of a prosecutor who had a black man in one case and then the perfect social climber in another case. Strangely enough that prosecutor just neglects some elements that should have prompted an investigation for a serial killer, but then the case would have evaded his political hands (Elections! Elections! Elections!) and the FBI would have come into the picture, maybe, since they were just starting to speak of profiling in Quantico, Virginia. The subject of this film is how easy it is to manipulate American justice and even American judges if you have a good lawyer and if you can manipulate your lawyer into believing you. And that's the whole case. Add to that some unprofessional elements and you have the American trap for everyone instead of justice.The ex-prosecutor who is playing defense councilor has forgotten all her ethics in her bathroom one happy morning and she has the relation with her client that is strictly forbidden by all rules, mega rules and mini rules even. So she creates a pure hellish pit for herself and everyone else in this society, leaving a sociopath and psychopath social climbing serial killer on the run. I can't say more without deflowering your virginal interest for the end, but be sure we knew it all along and yet it is not exactly what we had foreseen and predicted in our mind, not at all even because. . . in my deepest and most trustworthy mind of mine we could have sworn it was a little more complex.Enjoy the suspended suspense that is blown up at the end into thousands of shattereens.Dr Jacques COULARDEAU

AaronCapenBanner Jeff Bridges plays Jack Forrester, whose heiress wife Page is brutally murdered with a (jagged edged) hunting knife in their San Francisco beach house. Jack finds himself indicted for her murder, though maintains his innocence, and hires high-profile attorney Teddy Barnes(Glenn Close) to defend him. She at first is convinced of his innocence, since she finds herself attracted to his good looks and charm, and so tries to build the case that Page was having an affair with her Tennis instructor. However, a key piece of evidence(a typewriter) will play a devastating role in making her believe otherwise...Slickly made and well acted film is still unpleasant and mostly empty, leading to a conclusion that makes little sense, and is full of holes.(That Typewriter again!)
