Carl Franklin directs Ashley Judd, Morgan Freeman and Jim Caviezel in this courtroom thriller where a tough lawyer realises she doesn’t know her husband all that well when she has to defend him for war crimes.

As a movie this doesn’t work – Judd and Caviezel are too bland to care about and their characters are as about as consistent as jelly with bacon bits in it. But it is an airport novel courtroom thriller, no matter how garbled, no matter how slick looking… I like that party. AND the support cast of Freeman, Amanda Peet and Adam Scott are bringing it big time. So not a complete write-off.
