Defense attorney Richard Ramsay (Keanu Reeves) takes on a personal case when he swears to his widowed friend, Loretta Lassiter (Renée Zellweger), that he will keep her son Mike (Gabriel Basso) out of prison. Charged with murdering his father, Mike initially confesses to the crime. But as the trial proceeds, chilling evidence about the kind of man that Boone Lassiter (Jim Belushi) really was comes to light. While Ramsay uses the evidence to get his client acquitted, his new colleague Janelle (Gugu Mbatha- Raw) tries to dig deeper - and begins to realize that the whole truth is something she alone can uncover.

Barbara Stanwyck is superb as Martha Ivers, a wealthy woman whose past suddenly comes back to haunt her, in this gripping thriller.

With Kirk Douglas (in his screen debut), Lizabeth Scott, Judith Anderson. 116 min. Standard; Soundtrack English.
