An excellent and interesting first act and lead through to what is ultimately an anti-climatic conclusion and resolution. It's not a terrible ending but it does feel inconsequential and mostly unsatisfying. One huge positive is the wonderful performances from Eric Bana and Rebecca Hall. They deliver a gripping and a believable portrayal of English barristers in a no win situation. The plot itself stumbles under a few logic flaws like why Bana is working alone with a team on such a big case or why they never even considered going to the press. Any press would run with a story that big if their protected sources were the two lead litigators and the suspect's son. Anyway, the film heads in an intense direction but then loses all it's teeth and lands in the "meh" category faster than the viewer would expect.
