About
You’ll likely enjoy this smart, high-pressure courtroom thriller if you like debate-heavy legal fights and big speeches; Not for you if courtroom dramas bore you or if you want action-heavy thrills like Crimson Tide or Witness for the Prosecution.
Pros: taut courtroom drama; standout performances; razor dialogue | Cons: some strained character choices; a few pacing dips; debate-worthy verdicts
