Film Review: Reasonable Doubt

Genre:  Crime Thriller

Cert: 18 R-Rated cert

Parents advised to read before viewing film as some scene may contain scenes unsuitable for younger viewers.

Sex & Nudity: none


Violence & Gore: man being hit by a car,
man hit with a hammer,
a man covered in blood from wounds on the floor.


Profanity:  mild to strong language


Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: few drinking in a bar


Frightening/Intense Scenes: seeing some one being hit by a hammer & a car maybe a little disturbing to some viewers
 


Story: Up-and-coming District Attorney, Mitch Brockton is involved in a fatal hit-and-run, but Clinton Davis, is found with the body and charged with murder. Believing that Davis is innocent, Brockton is compelled to throw the trial. Soon after, Brocton's perfect life begins to unravel as he realizes that the man he set free is hiding a secret that will destroy him.

Likes : This isn't the Samuel L. Jackson we love & know as he play a character that has a very shifty in nature what seem to be an innocent man soon show's a much dark side.This type of film has the concept of a deadly game deception & murder which makes some thrillers worth watching, while this film isn't the greatest thriller you still find your self getting draw in to what happens next has the lawyer Mitch Brockden played by Dominic Cooper who get unwittingly get caught up in the cross hairs of a serial killer after a car incident it come a deadly cat & mouse game between the two which make the film interesting to watch.
The one thing that this film fall short of being a brilliant film is the plot is a little weak, special with some scene just seem to be unbelievable & ruin the mood of the film slightly, i think if they kept this real looking the film would have had a better reception but its good film to watch Samuel & Dominic performance are believable & brilliant done but the plot just lets there acting down slightly.  


Dislike: plot lets this film down slightly i think it could of been a little better to make this film brilliant

 

Overall : Great thriller to watch not brilliant but watchable, good performances

Rating: 3.6 out of 5 for entertainment / 6 out of 10 for story-line/ concept
