Gary Fleder’s direction really pulls you into the ethical quandaries surrounding the legal system. The pacing is deliberate, though it builds suspense effectively. John Cusack and Rachel Weisz have a nice chemistry that adds a layer of emotional complexity, while Gene Hackman and Dustin Hoffman provide a gritty edge, embodying their morally ambiguous roles.

There’s a certain rawness to the performances that feels grounded, which is refreshing compared to more polished courtroom dramas.
