I thoroughly liked the vast majority of this film, but even so it would be so much worse off if it wasn't for Washington; who nails his performance. Away from the lead, the cinematography is pleasant as is the premise and support cast; for which Colin Farrell is the standout.
It's a real interesting legal drama. There's not much to note here without wanting to spoil things, but I can say it's worth your time.
