Summary:
 Clever twists and a bona fide surprise ending make this an above-average
courtroom thriller.... in
the case of a hotshot Chicago defense attorney (Richard Gere) whose latest
client is an altar boy (Edward Norton) accused of murdering a Catholic
archbishop. The film uses its own manipulation to tell a story about
manipulation, and when we finally discover who's been pulling the strings, the
payoff is both convincing and pertinent to the ongoing debate over what
constitutes truth in the American system of justice. Making an impressive screen
debut that has since led to a stellar career, Norton gives a performance that
rides on a razor's edge... his role is an actor's
showcase, and without crossing over the line of credibility, Norton milks it for
all it's worth. Gere is equally effective in a role that capitalizes on his
shifty screen persona, and Laura Linney and Frances McDormand give memorable
performances in their intelligently written supporting roles. --Jeff Shannon
