Complex, clever law career film with a twist

Rating: 8/10 (19 June 2000)

I've missed seeing this film a couple of times but chose it in favour of Good Will Hunting last night.
Excellent, gripping, well written with capable acting.
In most thrillers one is inundated with gore and 'plastic' CGIs, this film is far more skillfully constructed than the normal pap.
The characters may not be brilliantly formed and Al Pachino was basically playing as the character in Scent of a Woman but I throughly enjoyed this film and would recommend it for good Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc. night viewing.
Nice one.
