Review by travisbroy

If I could give this a 5.5, I would. This was a bland film, I don't know what else to say. By the end I was checking the clock every five minutes or so to see how much left I had to get through. Yes, the performances are strong. Absolutely. It is competently directed and the plot, on paper, is compelling. But as for what I actually watched, I truly don't understand what people are all excited about. I can handle a slow film if it pays off, but there's no payoff here. There is a lot of courtroom tedium, the occasional flashback, a scene with a really sick dog that is disturbing, and that's about it. Underwhelming and overrated.
