Editorial Reviews

The novel by John Katzenbach becomes this legal thriller starring Sean Connery as Harvard Law School professor Paul Armstrong. A legal expert whose days of trying cases are long behind him, Armstrong is moved by a plea he receives from a Florida death row inmate, Bobby Earl (Blair Underwood). It seems that the educated, upstanding Earl has been railroaded by an overeager sheriff (Laurence Fishburne) zealously trying to solve the kidnapping and murder of a little girl. Once Armstrong arrives in Florida, he is able to locate the murder weapon and cast doubt on Earl's innocence, even identifying a much more likely culprit in the homicidal genius Blair Sullivan (Ed Harris). All is not as it seems in the case of Bobby Earl, however, and Armstrong is going to end up regretting his interest in the case. Ruby Dee, Kate Capshaw, and Ned Beatty costar in this film from producer-turned-director Arne Glimcher. Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

February 04, 2004: This movie carried through until the very end with drama, enticement, mystery and excitement. The characters were believable which only added to the 'it could happen in any town' feeling the movie provoked.

July 12, 2003: Outstanding performances by Sean Connery and Laurence Fishburne in the lead roles. Tours de Force by Ed Harris and Ned Beatty in vital supporting roles. Kate Capshaw is complete and believable (and quietly lovely} as Professor Armstrong's wife who has more than a professional interest in seeing the handsome charmer (Blair Underwood) acquitted: her conscience has bothered her since her trial lawyer debut in the defendant's conviction eight years earlier. The plot seems convoluted at times, but the mixture of violence and suspense set in the haunting and menacing back bayou country surrounding the small southern town keeps the viewer thoroughly involved. The contrast between the local sheriff (Fishburne} and the Harvard Law professor (Connery), key to the movie's motion, would falter and fail were it not for the virtuosity of the actors' diction and timing.
