Terrible acting. So bad I couldn't continue to watch this movie. It's an interesting concept, but a real struggle to get past the acting.

It is not often that a film inspires me to do some study but with this film, Justice is Mind, I did just that. A fascinating look into what may very well become part of our future.

A gripping story that revolves around a trial of the century. One in which what is viewed in ones mind becomes hard evidence against him. Can he be convicted because his brain recalls an event that he has no recollection of committing? What follows is a trial full of detail and intrigue. Admittedly, I don't like films based on trials yet this one was different. This filmmaker has a great story to tell and he does tell it in precise detail. Having done his homework, Mark Lund, the writer and director does a wonderful job of bringing out a compelling story full of intelligence and real life science. I commend him for his writing and story telling.

Vernon Aldershoff, the films lead character, does a perfectly absorbing job of portraying Henri Miller the subject of the films trial. With near childlike innocence his grasp of Henri's struggle leaves the viewer loving and caring for him Guilty or not.

Kim Gordon and Mary Wexler hold the arms of justice as prosecutor and judge. Both delivering such believable and watchable portrayals we are able to become so deeply invested in what evidence is discussed and presented. These ladies really make the trial feel real, feel important and feel like nothing less than a trial of the century.

These New England actors and filmmakers should really be commended for what they have brought to the screen. It will be a long while before I ever forget the scenes so magically captured by these wonderful people. If you are looking for a film that is different on so many levels then look no further. Justice is Mind is not only a good film, it is a peek into our own judicial future.

I disagree with the reviewer who says the acting was terrible. The story is engrossing and the acting is fine, especially considering it's a cast of unknowns. Where it all falls apart is in the production values. Boring camerawork, obviously cheap film, but most abhorrent of all - the sound man should be taken out and put in the stocks! If you can bear to stay with it, the story makes it worth it.

This is brilliant, given it was made ten years ago (from the point of view of July, 2024), but it is set two and a half years from now, around the end of 2026. Acting is brilliant, and it plays out more realistically, almost in a documentary style. It is interesting to see these legal type dramas, and how lawyers (who all belong at the bottom of the ocean) can debate about the Law only - never mind Justice- whatever that is supposed to be. This is also frightening, in that people are probably even now cooking up things to look into our minds. In an old movie from the sixties, the hero was able to read people's minds, and one might have thought great, but then a judge admonishes him that surely a person's mind is their last bastion of privacy - or words to that effect. It is true, as observed in this movie, that privacy is not as valued in this century, and this goes back at least to the. Handycam™ era - at least the early nineties, and perhaps even earlier. Then of course the so-called reality TV, which personally I do not like. This movie also explores the idea of what a person might do if another individual wrongs them, and whether one should take the law into their own hands.
