Could have been a really great film

Rating: 4/10 (10 February 2011)

What went wrong? It's hard to believe that the DA would halve made such an ridiculous deal in such a horrendous high profile crime. But OK maybe? Then they trot out the murderer who got the sweet deal in front of the press.(I think he'd go out the back door). Then the Jamie Fox character shakes his hand in front of the entire press corps only to have photographers capture and print the picture...wow, stupid or what? He would have been crucified for doing that by the media in any city. He wouldn't have his job a week later let alone ten years later. There's much more to say but this is just indicative of film making by committee.
I bet the original script was great. This film is a mess. Too bad! Style before substance.
The ending - the last 15 or 20 minutes or so was just horrible.
It could have been really good, but it certainly wasn't biblical.
