At first glance, this seems like another typical "woman being victimized" movie that's pretty predictable, but its ending may surprise you.

Tremendously trashy courtroom drama that improves as its silly premise just keeps on getting, well, sillier.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | May 12, 2020

The film's uneven atmosphere is especially disappointing given the irresistible, seemingly foolproof premise and effectiveness of the stars' performances...

| Original Score: C- | Sep 7, 2011

A tightly-wound thriller that succeeds to the degree it does because of Alec Baldwin's sinister performance, which somehow captures the pathos of his monstrous character.

Without revealing plot twists, I will say that the movie goes on a long while -- a very long while -- after the trial is over, and that a trip to the jungles of Guatemala is unnecessary, to put it mildly.
