An altar boy is accused of murdering a priest, and hotshot lawyer tries to prove his innocence.
Effective
crime-courtroom drama with a multi-playered plot with a malicious twist
ending; Edward Norton outplays the rest of the (otherwise adeqaute)
cast.
Halliwell
(no star): "An implausible thriller with a twist at its end, but one
that diminishes all that has gone before, so that an audience is more
likely to feel cheated than surprised."
Maltin***:
"Gere gives a solid performance in one of his very best
roles...Newcomer Norton is also very impressive. Film loses some of its
impact by going on too long and by following unrelated story tangents.
Still, an intelligent, absorbing drama."
