Did the reversal succeed?

I like to watch suspenseful movies. Every time with the development of the plot, new facts emerge and the plot keeps reversing, which may make me stunned. Revealed suddenly.
I also like to watch legal movies. There are too many wonderful stories for lawyers, defendants, witnesses, juries, judges and many other characters in the trial court, which can reflect human nature and justice.

I didn't find the subtitles, but I probably understood the content of the movie. The film is slow-paced, but not procrastinated. Each trial is conveyed with new information. Personally, I think this movie is a failure.

The last reversal was too unsuccessful. If Richard was really the murderer, how did Richard get out of bed and reappear at the crime scene as a lawyer? Because Mike never left the house. There could be no secret passage under the bed, and Mike's sudden return home was completely unplanned. If Mike did see someone hiding under the bed, why didn't he get that person out? Maybe he was too flustered? The son wants to blame his mother, but the mother refuses. The two should discuss this matter. Why do you call the police so quickly? If the lawyer really wanted to kill because he was found to have an affair with the deceased's wife, would he easily persuade her to conspire with him to murder her husband and bear his guilt? The more I think about it, the more unreasonable it becomes.

In addition, the show almost questioned the entire judicial system. Under oath, witnesses will still lie; under evidence, juries will still be acquitted. That Janelle, who still has some brains and conscience, finally compromised, and this may be the naked reality.

Correction :
Haha, I saw the correction in the comments, it turned out that my memory was wrong, Richard's watch was dropped by the bed, and his mother went to pick it up and he saw it. This mother is really a pit son.

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.
