Actress, successful career, a well-known lawyer from a well-known law firm, has a handsome husband, a good job (may become a partner of the law firm at the end of the year), everything goes smoothly, middle-level white-collar life is suddenly robbed by two houses The little thief disturbed her, and her husband went to jail overnight and was told that she had no right to know what her husband did because it was related to state secrets. The wonderful life ended here, helplessly she was hesitating and fragile.
It turned out that the identity information about her husband was false. He was accused of deserting and deliberately attacking the chief for murder, and will be tried in a military court.
The husband turned out to be a member of the US Task Force 27 and received instructions to find the rebels who murdered American students in a small village in El Salvador. During the period, someone out of control murdered 9 civilians, and the actor was accused of murdering 9 civilians and became a scapegoat. The real criminal has become a high-ranking official. After discovering that the military provided a rookie lawyer, the heroine decided to defend her husband, so she quit her job and devoted herself to the debate.
In the first step, she wanted to find a lawyer who was born in the Army and had experience in military courts as an assistant. So she found Morgan Freeman. Morgan didn't want to help her. At the beginning, she asked her husband to confess his guilt and ask for leniency. The heroine did not admit defeat. At her insistence, Morgan agreed.
In the first trial, both sides will come and go, and after the battle, they will have the upper hand. The military gave preferential terms, a secret agreement + 5 years in prison, but was rejected. Back home, the heroine was attacked by someone who claimed to be the Salvadoran Resistance Army and was threatened to abandon her defense.
During this period, the opponent is leading everywhere, and everything is expected to take the lead.
The lawyers were monitored and forced to use the media to expose everything. Finally they encountered a greater challenge...
ok, the story ends here.
To talk about my feelings, the story is a bit simpler, the actors are pretty good, the performances are all in place and quite satisfactory. It's just that the rhythm is a little slow. To be honest, I really thought I would fall asleep.
Not bad. Ordinary people (lawyers? Can they also be considered vulnerable groups?) challenging the military is quite interesting. Haha, those who are interested can check it out. The result is definitely not what you think.

    I want to be a legal movie but it's not sharp enough, a crime movie conspiracy is not thorough enough, the story seems to be good, but I always feel that I haven't scratched it anywhere.

    This is the so-called heart of justice that Laomei advertises. The reversal at the end is good, otherwise it would be too cliché. The old drama bone Morgan Freeman, when will there be a villain.
