Underrated movie- Liam Neeson is GREAT
Added 3/14/2010
I really like this movie. I watched this movie again when it showed up on Encore. Liam Neeson is such a great actor and to play a role where everything he does has to be read by his face and body language with Cher is such an under appreciated quality.
They don't show blood and guts to make this a great movie- they tell a story. Its very hard in today's immediate gratification world to find movies that tell stories without giving the plot away in the first 30 minutes.
Cher and Liam have good chemistry...I enjoy legal thrillers and movies that are still enjoyable even after I know the ending....
The movie is worth watching....check out John Mahoney ( Frasier's dad) as a judge.

No Matter The Cost, No Matter The Danger. The Truth Will Start Unraveling Itself Little By Little. This riveting story reveals ,
a Supreme Court Justice Takes his own life.
A woman is found dead, a victim of a grisly murde A homeless Vietnam vet stands accused.
Kathleen Riley (Cher) is an overworked Washington D.C. public defender who needs a vacation. Instead, she is assigned another case. But this is no ordinary crime, with no ordinary criminal.
Lobbyist Eddie Sanger (Dennis Quaid) gets saddled with jury duty just when a critical bill is coming up for vote. While on jury duty, Eddie discovers evidence critical to Kathleen's case and contacts her outside the courtroom... a real violation of the law.
Bizarre evidence leads Kathleen on a dangerous trail from Washington's seamy underbelly to the highest levels of government. And the closer she gets to the answer, the more her life is in danger.
Cher and Dennis Quaid take the law into their own hands in the daring suspense thriller where everything is revealed in court... except the truth.

I have watched this film several times since purchasing, and I always find if just as entertaining and suspenseful. It's one of those films that never gets stale. The main draw here is Cher who is always a joy to watch whether in film or in music. I loved her role and the story as a public defender trying to prove a mute, homeless man innocent of a brutal murder as she searches for clues, trying to uncover the truth. In a male-dominated cast, it's great to see the strong woman go up against all the men in the name of justice. And those courtroom scenes are such fun to watch. Definitely worth owning! Also recommended with Cher: Silkwood with Meryl Streep and Kurt Russell

This is one of the best performances Cher ever gave on the big screen. Interesting plot and a genuinely frightening edge-of-your-seat "stalking scene"... Highly recommended!!!

I really enjoyed this movie. Cher did an excellent job and I really enjoyed the suspense, the action and the acting from not only her, but also Dennis Quaid and Leemon Neeson. They were great together which made this a very enjoyable movie.
