Good ending but they should have ended it in the basement on an ambiguous note.

A solid legal drama that is in line with the thrillers of the nineties that portrayed empowered women, but whose strength had as its main consequence evil and violence, as executors or as victims. It has a solid script that maintains the suspense until a surprising plot twist, but it cannot avoid a certain tone of misogynism in the portrayal of the female characters, especially Carolyn Polhemus, presented as a manipulative character. However, the powerful direction of Alan J. Pakula manages to elevate the film above the weaknesses of the story.

It didn't keep me engaged for the 2+ hours, despite all the talent involved. I don't know how I feel about the exposition dump of an ending. Good idea, though.

Pretty good mystery-legal-drama features fine performances, especially from Ford and Raul Julia, though does rely a lot on coincidences (lucky draw to get that judge) but still finely directed and liked John Williams's score. **3.75/5**
