Keanu becomes a lawyer again

Keanu Reeves's new work in 16 years, since the "devil's spokesperson", this time Keanu wore a suit and went to the court as a lawyer to defend haha.

As a suspense film, the plot is basically good. Every important person lied in court for most of the same reasons, in order to save what he has now: flight attendants to keep their jobs, police and forensic doctors to save face , The son wants to keep his mother (Keanu wants to keep his mother too?) and so on. And the plot has been reversed several times, which is beyond my imagination, because I originally thought that my mother was arguing with her husband and killed her husband by mistake, and then my son committed the crime in order to save his mother. Of course, in order to persuade the jury to lie that he was 12 years old I was raped by my dad in the beginning~ but in the end, I didn’t think it was a planned murder. I might not understand it, but it was probably because my mother cheated on Keanu, and my father was murdered by them when he noticed it. After finishing football training and going home, they broke their plan, and carefully discovered that Keanu’s watch was next to his father’s body. At that time, I immediately understood that the matter was not simple, and Keanu’s reason was not clearly explained in the film, but it was probably because of the same thing. Lawyer, the reason for the difference in material conditions between him and dad is too much~

Although the plot is very good, the narrative is a bit pale, and it feels that if the plot is not just enough to attract, it will definitely make people look down; and then the ending is a bit "godfather", The direct climax ended, making people feel unfinished~

The Whole Truth quotes

  • Ramsey: At some point, every defense lawyer has to choose between his own need to know the truth and the best interests of his client.

  • [first lines]

    Ramsey: [narrating] When the court officer smiled at me on the morning of trial, I knew I was fucked. They weren't taking bets on this one. Mike had killed his father, Boone Lassiter - left his handprint on the knife - confessed.

    Ramsey: Half my cases had evidence this bad. I just pled them out, got manslaughter and moved on. But this was Mike, and I'd known him all his life. He was going to college and probably law school, and I doubted his mother could survive him going to the penitentiary.

    Ramsey: But I knew Boone, I had that. And I knew enough about the Lassiter household to know that Mike had a defense - if he would just talk to me.
