Too Hollywood like!

Rating: 6/10 (28 December 2009)

This movie does a decent job calling out the American justice system,it is also full of suspense and is overall entertaining but I cant help giving it no more than 6/10 and here is why: The Villain is way to powerful to be believable,he actually reminds me of the Joker in the Dark Knight but as opposed to him, he is an one-man-army and is no comic book character. Also ,Jamie Fox did not strike me as a prosecutor or as a D.A at all ,he looked ,talked and acted more like a cop,part of it is his fault -under par acting- and the other is the script's putting him where he has no business being-investigating at night,blowing suspect up in his cell-. Last but not least ,the ending is just terrible:transporting a bomb-which can be remotely detonated at any minute- from the city hall to the prison cell,putting it under the bed and waiting in the dark for the bad guy to show up so the D.A can set him up to blow himself up !come on!cant get any cheesier than that! Too bad cause the story had potentials!
