7/10
Good, but not Pakula's best by far
17 March 2019
Harrison Ford plays a prosecutor who becomes the chief suspect in the death of his colleague. He as always, was great in the film. He is very good at bringing vulnerability to characters, which makes them connect with the audience.

The film was directed by Alan J Pakula, and he has made better films before. This was not a bad film at all. The only problem was the pacing. Sometimes, the movie slowed to a halt. For me, the flashback scenes were a big problem. They were necessary, and I get it, but they were not well placed.

But for me at least, the twist in the end was surprisingly good. I was I'll when I saw the movie, so I was not thinking. But the twist really surprised me. The movie was very good at misdirection.

The music was composed by the great John Williams, and it shows. It was great.

Overall, a good movie. Slightly slow, but definitely a one time watch.

3.5 out of 5 for me.
