Task: Sentiment Analysis
Input (English): richard gere can be a commanding actor , but
he 's not always in great films .
everything comes together here .
gere is a big time chicago defense attorney who takes on a seemingly unwinable case in hopes of even more publicity .
it does n't go exactly as he expects .
gere 's client , aaron ( edward norton ) , is a shy stuttering tennessee boy who is accused of brutally murdering and mutilating a catholic archbishop .
the evidence is stacked against him .
he was caught running from the scene covered in the bishop 's blood .
his bloody footprints are all over the murder scene .
he has a relationship with the priest .
gere talks to the boy , believes that he is actually innocent and
sets about finding the real killer .
despite the lawyer 's proclamations that he does n't care about the guilt of his clients and that the real thrill is gambling with people 's lives , he becomes involved with aaron and is determined to free him .
lots of complications and twists .
the prosecuting attorney is gere 's former co - worker and lover .
they both work each other 's motives to their legal advantages and it gets messy .
her boss had major economic dealings with the archbishop that went sour and seems to have crime connections .
aaron gets weirder and weirder as the trial goes on .
gere 's case is falling apart and he is faced with about a dozen ethical dilemmas .
gere is exceptional as the well - dressed reserved counselor , but just once , i wanted to see him kick back and come out of his " suit " persona .
even when he loses it , you do n't see very far inside .
norton 's aaron is convincing
: he comes across as the backwoods kid misplaced in the big city .
the supporting cast does a fine job of holding together the story .
as with most of the effective courtroom dramas , the cinematography is crisp and rich .
the story will keep you on the edge of your seat .
nothing is what it seems .
Output (English): P
