About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a fast-moving, intense drama about mob mentality, injustice, and revenge, with a big courtroom stretch; Not for you if you dislike dated melodrama or implausible turns—try I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang or Scarlet Street.
Pros: gripping mob-justice premise; strong performances; tense courtroom drama | Cons: plot can feel farfetched; message sometimes heavy-handed; ending feels preachy
