Though this movie may seem to be just another courtroom drama (it is), the
acting is pretty good. It finds a down-on-his-luck lawyer (Peter Strauss)
defending two different people; one he knows is guilty, one he thinks is
guilty. Beverly D'Angelo (who I remember from the 'Vacation' series) is
great as the rich and very much guilty southerner who is accused of
murdering her husband. The other person the lawyer is defending is
innocent
and eventually that is proven. Great movie, and it has much drama and a
little action to keep you at least somewhat interested through the
movie.
8/10
Peter Strauss is very good..., 13 November 2006
Author:

and sympathetic as a lawyer, who has problems with a discriminating
judge(well portrayed by Jill Clayburgh) This is similar to Texas
Justice in that Strauss is a much beleaguered man; his wife, Charm is
annoyingly portrayed by Laila Robins.
Beverly DÁngelo is accused (wrongfully? or not?) of murdering her
husband. She plays another bad Texas gal, (quite well, considering
she's from Ohio!) Strauss is very good and if you like courtroom drama,
you will enjoy this. The actress playing his wife, however is very
annoying, as an aspiring TV reporter. Her portrayal seems reminiscent
of shallow Kathie Lee Gifford. 8/10.

I enjoyed what I saw. Soon after a revealing plot point from Beverly De
Angelo, the power went out in my house. I think the characters are
interesting and the drama is compelling. All of the cast contributed.
There must have been something special about this TV movie for me to be
upset that I didn't get to see how it finished out. Great performances
and writing. Above average television movie. I hope I can see how it
ends some day. I enjoyed what I saw. Soon after a revealing plot point
from Beverly De Angelo, the power went out in my house.
Again to meet silly length requirements... I think the characters are
interesting and the drama is compelling. All of the cast contributed.
