Review of Criminal Law

Criminal Law (1988)
7/10
Good atmospheric law thriller which deserves a better ending
3 December 2015
Martin Campbell's movies has become quite commercial since early 90's. But "Criminal Law" is a decent movie which possible please thrillers lovers.

The film making is very effective, and Jerry Goldsmith's score along the fantastic photography of Phil Meheux creates a distressing atmosphere.

About acting, i'm not usually amazed by celebrities performance (Gary Oldman ,Kevin Bacon) but some of the supporting cast. In this case, i have to highlight the Karen Young performance. She is a very interesting actress who had roles in " 9 1/2 weeks","Birdy" or "Maria 's Lovers".

The plot is interesting and has good development, but the ending has a lack of credibility.

Yet the movie deserves to be watched, specially for thriller's lovers.
