t never really explained until you couldn’t give a shit.., prominent attorney Steven Luisi (Tom Berenger) takes on a high-profile murder case and soon finds himself forced to deal with his past bullshit. With the help of an ex-athlete and gang member (Sticky Fingaz), Luisi faces both police department corruption and his brutal former drug dealer (Busta Rhymes) in this shitter.
The music was not really notice
able due to horrible writing, editing, and acting. I would like to point out that if this same music was used in another movie that it would most likely be good.
The cinematography was ok for the most part. Good film was used as well as some nice dissolves. The camera work was not a part of this movies problem. Kudos to the cameraman and his crew.
The acting was much like a bad day time soap opera. For
ced lines, flat emotion…the list goes on. To be honest I think Sticky Fingaz was the most believable character in the whole picture. Its really upsetting to me, I’m a big Tom Berenger fan, but I have no idea what happened to him over the years.
The effects were few and far between, and when they were used, they were the worst Sci-Fi Original CGI’ed gunshot wounds that I have ever seen. Directors: please
do not do this in the future!!! It looks so bad it ruins the whole scene.
Overall this film was a big disappointment. I would not waste your time with it. If you’re looking for some good police/court dramas, standard TV has plenty that are better then this. What’s worse then a poorly written big budget courtroom drama?…A poorly written low budget courtroom drama. Avoid
