The courtroom is also one of the common scenes in European and American movies. Usually, eye-catchy is just a trick. For example, the defendant in this work does not speak. The common features of wonderful works are clear context, strong movement, smooth pushback, dignified atmosphere, concise dialogue, and unique shots. , the energy gathers and disperses freely, and the core of expression is one or two actors as the central axis, and the character of such actors is based on Pacino (the stubborn donkey). In addition, the film is easy to be boring. It depends on the director's skill for scheduling and color grading

.

, narrated calmly, all the elements written above are solid. Although the first 50 minutes have been out of focus and bored, the occasional glance is still very emotional, Keanu's efforts in acting for other people are touching. Well, legal films are rare, and they are almost always at the mid-to-high level. The top two are Witness for the Prosecution and Twelve Angry Men. Like Pacino, Richard Gere, Damon, Denzel x Hanks, they are very aura but not classic enough. Although Keanu works hard and has a good talent, he is not all-powerful. His character, his experience, his looks and his age, to be able to see his performance, fans must be gratified enough.

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.
