The premise is enticing—can a lawyer uncover the truth behind a seemingly straightforward case of domestic violence? Yet, the execution feels uneven. While the lead performance is solid, some supporting characters lack depth, making it difficult to invest in their fates. The film builds tension effectively but occasionally falls into predictable tropes that detract from its overall impact. The pacing falters in the middle, leading to moments where interest wanes. Still, there are flashes of brilliance, particularly in the courtroom scenes where the stakes feel real. If you’re a fan of legal dramas, you might find some enjoyment here, but it doesn’t quite hit the mark as a standout film. Show less
