Daniel Perez

*Spolier alert* I honestly thought I would like this movie much more than I did. The acting from Denzel was mediocre. It seemed like he was failing at playing an autistic lawyer (the movie never flat out stated that Roman was on the spectrum, but Denzel's acting made it seem like that's what they were going for). The first half of the movie was pretty good. Engaging. Then came the point where suspense was hard forced when it was completely unnecessary. That bit of the movie was hard to get past, I almost turned it off, but I had already invested some time o figured I'd finish. The ending was fine. It wrapped as a story of the unjust being punished (the criminal in jail, the protagonist dead). It also ended with a major progressive piece of legislation being filed, which was cool. It was a fine ending to a somewhat boring movie. I'd rather them have turned it into more of a documentary feeling movie rather than turning it into a crime and suspense movie, since they had a good story to tell while failing at the suspense they inserted. Overall, it was "okay". I would t recommend it to anyone, but it wasn't too bad as a whole. *Edit - go read David Williams' review. He says it best.

Could have been a great show. Production value was pretty decent, but a lot of the writing, acting and directing was pretty awful. There were plenty of good bits, but far too much of it was subpar to deserve more than 3 stars in my opinion. If the show didn't have so much anticipation and money thrown at it, perhaps it'd get a 4th star from me personally. There were way too many moments when I found myself saying "god this show is stupid". Edit: my initial review was made after I had finished about half of the second season. After watching the finale, it's definitely two stars. What a disappointment. Not only did it drag on to a complete bore, but it only took away from what the entire series had led up to. The final episode could have not been created and it would have kept its 3 stars.
