British justice stands proudly as a lighthouse…blah blah. A pretty interesting court thriller thanks to the British feel. I really like conspiracy stuff and some of the revelations were pleasantly surprising. Bana and Hall fit the role just right, even though the show they put on is nothing special, it leaves in you with a mainly positive sensation.

If this film didn't dwell so much on the relationships of the characters, whose interconnections are completely unnecessary, and just focused on the trial, and the whole thing was shot in a raw, almost emotionless way, it might have been an exceptional film. But this is a courtroom drama combined with a thriller and a romance. Yet one wonders why, because this way it's just one of many, though Bana once again shows that he doesn't have to die in a film to be tolerable.
