  • January 5, 2007
    Silly and routinely unbelievable courtroom thriller, typical of the 80s. Not terrible by any means, but there's nothing here that hasn't been done a hundred times before, and better.
  • March 31, 2008
    Decent plot and movie, but it needed some severe editing for time and pacing. Cher was miscast

    Cher is a pain but she does well in this one.

    Cher gives an amazing performance. The movie is very suspenseful and holds your interest at all times. Great cast and performances from all. Great story, well written and professionally made. Carefully directed by Peter Yates.

    Very good movie, great plot. Ending wraps up a little fast, but otherwise, no complaints. A-list roster of actors, and they earn their A's. Liam Neeson looks adorable.
