Samuel L. Jackson must be the hardest working man in Hollywood. I love the joke: "Who's Samuel L. Jackson?" "Have you ever seen a film? He's the black guy in it." But there's more to him than just being in a lot of films. His characters always have an edge. His role in 'Unbreakable' still haunts me to this day. 'Reasonable Doubt' gives him once again another great chance to shine and he takes it.
The movie itself is pretty solid. There are twists at turns at every corner and the story is more than interesting enough to keep the viewer hooked. There are of course the almost unavoidable downfalls every thriller seems to fall into towards the end, such as walking out of a police station after assaulting an officer as casually as leaving the post office and then the detective who ordered all units be sent to a house manages to beat them all there on her lonesome (without any sirens even on) just in time to put a bullet through the killers head and save the day. Clichéd and completely unrealistic. But we forgive. It's a good quality thriller worth a view.
