Highly Overrated But Still Good

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

The story is completely idiotic and absurd. It is a film made only to keep you attention. No intelligence.

Defense attorney Richard Ramsay (Keanu Reeves) has known his new client Mike all his life. The teenager is accused of killing his dominating father Boone Lassiter (Jim Belushi). It doesn't help that Mike won't speak to Richard whose only strategy seems to be rope a dope. Mike's mother Loretta (Renée Zellweger) is concerned. Janelle (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) joins the defense team.There is a reveal at the end of the movie. I swear that one minute before the reveal, I thought that Ramsay needed more connections to the Lassiters. The plot needs more twists and turns before the reveal. Instead, it seems to concentrate all the twists into one big twist. There is obviously something hidden but it needs a better setup. While the courtroom stays just compelling enough, it could have been more and this could have been a great thriller.

The legal advisor must have been asleep during filming, the keano narrative is idiotic, the film tries to provide "oooh ahhhh" moments that a fall flat every single time. Total waste of time making this movie.

It's a pretty even movie with a nice factor of meh. The acting is okay from the leads but somehow better from the supporting cast members. They wanted desperately to throw a twist at the end and it doesn't pay off, more that it harms the film with its presence. It's not a good mystery plot and as a law film it's not overly interesting in that sense either. I watched it, but wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
