Review:
This is a neat little legal thriller that has a few more twists and turns than the average offering. Richard Gere plays a cynical lawyer who usually doesn't care much for his clients, but rather is in it for exposure for himself. When he hears about an altar boy named Aaron who was found covered in the blood of a viciously murdered Priest he can't help but volunteer to defend the Aaron. For once he finds himself in an odd predicament, despite the overwhelming evidence that Aaron was involved Gere actually feels his client is innocent. Heck Aaron is an extremely boyish and likeable fellow who stammers and cowers, could he really do anything so horrible? The film is about the case playing out and all of the intriguing evidence and people who surface along the way. It maybe goes on a little long but it's so fascinating it's hard to look away from.
Availability: On DVD & Blu-Ray
