Trivia
Daniel Craig was originally set to star, and pulled out four days before filming was supposed to begin. He was replaced by Keanu Reeves.

Goofs
The lawyers come to the courthouse like it's the first time they have met in this case and the judge seems like he hasn't spoken to them about it. In reality they would have spent weeks selecting the jury and fighting each other. This would not have been the first day of the trial.

Quotes
Ramsey: At some point, every defense lawyer has to choose between his own need to know the truth and the best interests of his client.

better than expected.

Keanu reeves, renee zellweger. And a rare, more serious role for jim belushi. Ramsey is the attorney trying to defend a teenager being tried for murder, as an adult. But his client isn't talking, so this will make his defense so much more difficult than it might be. A lot happens. Surprises come out at the trial. It's the job of the jury to figure out who is telling the truth. And who is not. It's quite good. We skip over some legal points, and some presentation of evidence guidelines, but oh well. Minor details for the film, i guess. Written by nicholas kazan.. he was nominated for Reversal of Fortune. Directed by courtney hunt; nominated for Frozen River 2009.
