The CinePearl Take

Glatter’s direction keeps the tension simmering, even when the script meanders through legal jargon. William Hurt anchors the film with a stoic, layered performance as the seasoned judge, while Kenneth Branagh delivers a razor‑sharp antagonist whose moral ambiguity drives the story’s core conflict. The supporting turns from Madeleine Stowe and Blythe Danner add unexpected emotional depth, making the film more than just a procedural.
