In a Nutshell: It's a Grisham. Good, keeps your interest, not
spectacular.
Quick Plot: A high profile case in New Orleans draws the top
jury consultant in the nation to insure victory for the defense,
but another party "owns" a jury member, and is willing to push
the verdict either way, for a price.
In Detail: It was a Grisham, which means it is bound to be
entertaining and tense. It also means that it is unlikely to be
spectacular, and this wasn't. My two favorite Grisham films are
The Client and The Pelican Brief. The ending here, while a
surprise, just seemed to be a bit of a let down. I was geared
up for something much more. I'd say worth seeing, but rent it.
