EVERYTHING YOU TRUST. EVERYTHING YOU KNOW. MAY BE A LIE…

A thriller that stays unpredictable enough – until the last fifteen minutes that echo Jagged Edge (1985) and its very popular ending. Still, it is an entertaining movie and Ashley Judd excels as the strong-minded attorney whose husband (James Caviezel) is arrested and accused of slaughtering several villagers during a military operation. Anyone would be sensible enough not to represent one’s spouse in court, but this is a movie so don’t expect Judd to be second chair. Her acting strength is what carries the film and she is ably supported by Morgan Freeman as a boozy lawyer with a bike.

2002-U.S. 115 min. Color. Widescreen. Directed by Carl Franklin. Novel: Joseph Finder. Cast: Ashley Judd (Claire Kubik), Morgan Freeman (Charlie Grimes), James Caviezel (Tom Kubik), Amanda Peet, Adam Scott, Tom Bower… Michael Shannon.
