A note to subtitle/caption users
Given that this film stars a deaf actress and that I had seen this movie on Lifetime TV with captioning- I had no reason to suspect that the dvd would come WITHOUT CAPTIONS. As a deaf viewer, I was severely disappointed in this product. The film itself is good entertainment- but what's there to enjoy if you can't understand the dialogue?
GREAT SUSPENSE!
I saw this movie on Lifetime TV and I would have never guessed that the ending would have been so unexpected. I can't wait for this movie to come out on video. All I have to say is that you need to watch this movie. Marlee Matlin is as convincing as can be. This movie will keep you on the edge of your seat. Regina King, who you may have seen in "Jerry Maguire" as Cuba Gooding Jr.'s wife, is fantastic in this movie as a lawyer. She is one to watch!
Suspenseful Murder Trial
Take a murder and throw in deafness, old flames, jealousy, maintaining a perfect trial record---and you've got a good movie. That this movie does.
A deaf witness, a jealous, ambitious wife of son of Senatorial candidate, potential funds comingling, old romance between Prosecutor and Defense Attornies-- makes one think all the time at potential subplots and outcomes.
For sure I was into the wife of Russ doing the murder, but knew that was too obvious---it had to be someone else. Won't begin to give that away for those who haven't yet seen. Ending was surprise that took me off guard.
Acting was good all around. Martin is excellent.
