One of my all time favorites.

Absolutely Fantastic

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

There is a reasonable doubt that Samuel L Jackson was back on some rent or mortgage payment because there is no reason he'd be apart of this abomination if not to pay someone off. The plot is predictable, and you know how it will end in the first minute of the film. Its not even good escapist fun. (Avoid it)

In this excellently done movie, Sam Jackson plays the vigilante villain who murders! This is an unusual twist but on the fateful night that the DA becomes involved with an accident the story line is just tremendous. Each character does a wonderful job acting and the at the end you can't help but see the intention of the villain who really wants to end his life and has set it up so that the DA understands his feelings inside but also sets him up to take the rap. The DA is so clever and smart he actually figured out the correct answers and thus was able to ease his own conscience and focus to investigate. The man who plays the DA is excellent at showing the actual emotions that he faces with guilt, discovery, investigation, family loyalty and sentiment all facially, this is a rare quality that actors have. One actress who can do this is Demi Moore, she can with just face show any kind of emotions...this man was able to do this as well. The movie was intriguing, exciting, suspenseful, and creatively done. Bravo on the director and the casting! Samuel Jackson is always a sure bet but the DA is a surprising new and upcoming wonderful player! This move held the attention and was not so violent that you wanted to change the channel! It shows good vs evil and the integrity of the DA! Again the DA did a wonderful job with this one!! A must watch if you like suspenseful intrigues and law focused movies.

Samuel L. Jackson must be the hardest working man in Hollywood. I love the joke: "Who's Samuel L. Jackson?" "Have you ever seen a film? He's the black guy in it." But there's more to him than just being in a lot of films. His characters always have an edge. His role in 'Unbreakable' still haunts me to this day. 'Reasonable Doubt' gives him once again another great chance to shine and he takes it.The movie itself is pretty solid. There are twists at turns at every corner and the story is more than interesting enough to keep the viewer hooked. There are of course the almost unavoidable downfalls every thriller seems to fall into towards the end, such as walking out of a police station after assaulting an officer as casually as leaving the post office and then the detective who ordered all units be sent to a house manages to beat them all there on her lonesome (without any sirens even on) just in time to put a bullet through the killers head and save the day. Clichéd and completely unrealistic. But we forgive. It's a good quality thriller worth a view.

After a night of celebration Mitch Brockden, a young and cocky District Attorney, becomes involved in a car accident by knocking over a man who runs out in front of him. Panicking, he calls 911 and then leaves the scene. Brockden then soon learns that the man he ran over was murdered after he left the scene, and that police have a suspect by the name of Clinton Davis in custody. Brockden is assigned to the case, but believing that the wrong man is being charged, he deliberately throws the case ending in Davis being found not guilty. Unfortunately for Mitch, as he delves deeper, he begins to realise that there is much more to Davis than meets the eye.Reasonable Doubt is pretty much your run-of-the-mill crime thriller...nothing more, nothing less. It's a decently told story, but it's nothing really to get too excited about. The film is actually pretty rushed to be honest and it would probably have been better if there was another 30 minutes of it. It just goes by pretty fast. I mean one minute it's only an IF it goes to court, then the next thing you see it's basically half way through the trial. If the story was told with a bit more detail, like I say, I think it would have been better.It's not really an original story either and this type of plot has been done plenty of times before. I'm not complaining because the film was pretty enjoyable, but if you want originality then you'd be best looking elsewhere.Decently acted as well, especially by Jackson (but that goes without saying really), but Dominic Cooper is a touch over-the-top in some parts in portraying his character.Overall, Reasonable Doubt isn't too bad of a film to watch and you could do worse.
