True Colors Details

It's perfectly clear from the outset of this by-the-numbers drama what will happen when two law students graduate and go their own ways, one to the Justice Department where spotless behaviour is seemingly the norm, the other into the moral sewer of politics. It's a pity that fine actors like John Cusack and James Spader are defeated by the all-too-obvious plot, yet both leads bring enough energy and detail to their roles to provide some interest.

Unengrossing story of corruption that never grips, despite its slick presentation.
