The Last Witness
13 January 2013 | by (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) – See all my reviews

Dean and Sam are investigating two weird murders and they stumble with a scared man that tells a strange story about a judge in a red barn. They discover that all the victims had guilty for some crime in the past and they are judged by the Egyptian god Osiris and sentenced to death. Osiris decides to judge Dean's guilty and Sam becomes his defense lawyer. However when Osiris is ready to summon his last witness, Dean realizes that he will summon Amy and he takes the blame.

"Defending your Life" shows that Dean feels guilty for killing Amy without the knowledge of Sam. The story is only reasonable and does not work well. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Defending Your Life"
