This film is incredibly dull and slow-moving. But worse than how it tries your patience is how it tries your intelligence, The script is so juvenile, a fifth grader could do better. And Affleck's acting--he speaks as if he is half-asleep reading a bad children's book. And it stretches on for two full hours while you press the fast-forward button telling yourself "It can't go on like this forever--something's GOT to happen." But nothing does. Avoid this movie at all costs!

Outstanding plot, direction, screenplay and acting. Could have (and should have) been nominated for a multitude of awards. Characters are interesting, believable, all will good points and flaws. Acting is superb, to include major and minor characters. Far better than average courtroom drama. Disappointing to see how little it grossed. Highly recommend!
