Ben Chase is an on-the-rise Boston attorney currently defending a wealthy client in a high-profile murder case. Martin Thiel is the wealthy young man on trial for a particularly brutal murder. The verdict sets Thiel free. Within 24 hours another grizzly and all-too-familiar murder has taken place with striking similarities to the first crime. Chase inexplicably agrees to act as his defense attorney; but this time it will be to gather evidence that will put away his client for good.

I think I need to watch this one again. I wasn’t super locked in, so I think it felt slower than it might have if I was really paying attention. It has a lot of good ideas but maybe a little long and overdramatic. Or maybe it’s just me. I love Oldman and Bacon, and it’s great seeing them so young. I’m gonna give it four stars, and we’ll see if that goes up or down on a rewatch.
