    A judicial lark from Jurassic Park's Michael Crichton, directing, in dinosaur-lumbering fashion, this tough courtroom drama in which ex-cop Burt Reynolds is defended by Theresa Russell for a murder he says he didn't commit. Russell's ability to suggest obsession never matches up to her fatal attractiveness, but Reynolds manages a depressive attitude with real effectiveness. It never works up much tension, but it has its moments.

    Tough, entertaing thriller 9/8/05

    Excellent performances by Burt Reynolds as a cop accused of murder and Teresa Russell as the defending lawyer who doubts his innocence, lift this average thriller above par.Could have had stronger direction and a tighter plot but the two talented stars make it worthwhile.Good support comes from stalwart Ned Beatty and the underrated Kay Lenz.
