1. The female prosecutor is too rational and has a habit of moral cleanliness. The pitiful appearance of Allen in the last trial did not impress her at all, but made her want to wash her hands and leave here, forgetting the despicable activities of Allen and the bishop. In reality, it is almost impossible for Martin to be with such a person. Another point is that this woman is also very social. She does not want to leave working under a dark boss like Xiao, and feels like a failure if she loses her job. Her psychological quality and tolerance for evil far surpass Martin. This may indicate that the two of them just had a one-night stand and there was no more to follow. 2. Judges are not simple either. She and Martin and the female prosecutor should be old acquaintances. Their circle is very small, so they can drink red wine directly in the office after the trial. She was also there at the first Christmas church banquet, and she should be very familiar with Xiao. 3. Martin is a little white in front of everyone. I really don't understand how a person with such ordinary methods and no brains to believe his feelings got into a famous barrister. Even his assistant saw that the murderer was Allen, but he was the only one who didn't want to believe it. No evidence was found about the string of numbers, and there was nothing in his hands. He had been in a state of noness and stubbornness until he found the videotape.

4. Since Xiao is a figure who covers the sky with one hand, and is on the opposite side of justice, how does Martin do things under his hands, and can get out of it?

5. About Linda, it should be dead. Also killed by Allen.

6. In the end, Allen's blackening is a bit inexplicable. It's like reversing entirely for reversal's sake. How can someone with such an IQ live on the streets and be abused by the bishop for 2 years? Martin, the judge, the prosecutor, the doctor, whoever is not a battle-hardened old fritters, is too outrageous to be played around by him.

7. Norton is so good-looking, Alan Xiaoshou is too cute. I don't know what will be different about Edison Chen playing this role, they really look alike.

    You go see Norton! You go see Norton!

    I watched this film purely for Norton, and I accidentally discovered Richard Gill, who guessed the ending before the truth was revealed. How should I say, such a young Norton, at that time, Norton already had such extraordinary acting skills, no wonder he was so talented at that time. Get the Best Supporting Actor Award.

Primal Fear quotes

  • Martin Vail: [sitting with Jack Connerman in a bar] Why gamble with money when you can gamble with people's lives? That was a joke. All right, I'll tell you. I believe in the notion that people are innocent until proven guilty. I believe in that notion because I choose to believe in the basic goodness of people. I choose to believe that not all crimes are committed by bad people. And I try to understand that some very, very good people do some very bad things.

  • Janet Venable: [aggressively to Aaron on the witness stand] Do you know what I would do if someone did that to me? I would kill him, I wouldn't hesitate. I would stab him 78 times. I would chop off his fingers, slash his throat open, carve numbers in his chest, gouge out his eyes, I swear to God!... But that's me.
