As a crime/thriller fan, and having found 99% of Morgan Freemans' roles and films fab, I was looking forward to watching this. Whilst it wasn't quite as I was expecting, this was still a intriguing film with an edge of psychology that keeps you guessing throughout the film. We're introduced to the main characters in play early on, along with a prominent case that's under review; the death of a young girl, discovered by a noteworthy lawyer in town, Henry Hearst (played by Gene Hackman). He has already given his statement so it seems all that's left is for the police force to put the pieces together to find the killer. However, after being called in ...  Read the complete review

Wow! That's exactly how I felt when the credits for this opus rolled and I was left reflecting on the film. It is an outstanding film and I am dead glad I chose to rent it (on DVD naturally ;-) **The plot** This film is plot heavy so to make sure you enjoy it as much as I did, I won't give too much away. Basically, you've got Morgan Freeman (who ALWAYS gives his best to a film) and Gene Hackman in the lead roles. Freeman is Capt. Victor Benezet, a cop who's not at his best due to splitting from his wife. So when he gets put on the case of raped and murdered teenage girls he puts all his anger and frustration into it. ...  Read the complete review

Two experienced executive producers, two extremely capable actors. When Morgan Freeman and Gene Hackman collaborated to produce this film it should have been a recipe for success. However, despite their solid performances by the end of the film I was left feeling dissatisfied. THE PLOT Hackman plays a respectable lawyer who falls under suspicion of the rape and murder of two young girls after discovering the dead body of one. As the policeman, played by Freeman, questions him his story begins to unravel and his explanations just don?t quite add up. TECHNIQUE The best aspect of this film was an unusual form of direction which I have ...  Read the complete review

A film staring Morgan Freeman (Captain Victor Benezet) and Gene Hackman (Henry Hearst) you would think would be a classic. The story line is very good and both actors play storming parts but there is something big missing. The film is very theatrical and maybe better suited for TV rather than the big screen. The film is set in Puerto Rico and there are no main parts being played by Puerto Ricans and hence it looks a bit funny as to why they are on the Island. Basically two young girls (13yrs) have been raped and murdered and Henry Hearst discovers the second one whilst out jogging. He gives his statement, which is full of holes from the start, and it ...  Read the complete review
