This is a different change of pace for Michael Dudikoff. I didn't expect much going into this one, it's a made for television movie, filmed in Canada. Was it any good? I wouldn't exactly call it good, but it passed the time in an OK way. The trouble with this movie, is there isn't anything in this movie that you haven't seen before. It's a highly derivative courtroom thriller that will deliver no surprises. There is some twists and turns, especially at the end, but you've seen it all before if you are knowledgeable about courtroom thrillers. Also, this one lacks suspense when the movie needs it the most. There were a few occasions where the film begins to meander, in lieu of building up tension like it should be doing. It does thrown in some rather tame eroticism. Dudikoff and Matlin have some rather tame sex and make-out sessions. None of the main characters are a true "Villain" I thought that was a unique touch. The acting isn't bad. Michael Dudikoff gives one of his best performances. I wouldn't say it was exceptional, but he had the right amount of intensity for the part. Marlee Matlin is very good in this movie. Her beauty knows no bounds and I thought she did great with her character. Overall, this is an average courtroom thriller. I'm not going to say it comes recommended, but if you are able to come across it on T.V, it kills the time.
