Great Story, 19 September 1999
9/10
Author: Tara-7 from New York

This was a great story, but the book was even better! The fact that it is based on a true case makes it even better. If you like suspense movies and legal thrillers, this movie has it all. If you liked this movie, definitely definitely read the book.
