The Final Verdict

Star Witness: Casting Edward Norton

The Psychology of Guilt

Theatrical trailer

Richard Gere stars as Martin Vail, a famed defense lawyer who volunteers his services to Aaron Stampler (Edward Norton), a Kentucky teenager charged with the murder of a Chicago archbishop. Covered with blood, Aaron was captured after a foot chase broadcast live on TV, making a gleeful Vail certain that he could raise his profile by defending the obviously guilty suspect. Assigned to prosecute is Assistant District Attorney Janet Venable (Laura Linney), who is Vail's ex-girlfriend. Vail's case becomes more complicated than he expected when a psychologist, Dr. Molly Arrington (Frances McDormand) concludes that Stampler suffers from multiple personality disorder. Vail also uncovers evidence that the archbishop was involved in a corrupt land scheme and may have molested young parishioners. Now the cynical, opportunistic attorney is faced with a daunting prospect: a client who may actually deserve his best defense.

Pre-order Primal Fear.

Frequency (2000)

My rating: 6/10

The premise is ridiculous, and the whole thing does get pretty cheesy at times, but it's still pretty entertaining.

Belatedly marking the birthday of one of the great ones (who I only now noticed used to resemble someone I know when he was young).
