I have not seen a film this good in a very long time! Well and intelligently written: good plot, witty dialogue, and interesting characters. Even the ending was a bit surprising.I would describe this movie as a legal & psychological thriller. By the time it was almost over, I had imagined several suspects including the attorney's assistant as the accused's lover! Yeah that was a bit over the top. Anyway, I was very impressed with the film. The only set back is I believe the actors could have been more polished, except for Sachin. All in all, it was good to watch an entertaining film on an otherwise boring Monday.P.S. There is no nudity in this film. I don't know why that other reviewer called it a porn film?????

Okay granted, this movie will not win an academy award however, it is very entertaining!! Its a good watch on movie night at the crib. I am not sure why some people are saying is not a good movie but Don't LISTEN!!Check this one out for yourselves. The characters are polished and clear about their roles in this movie. The plot although done before doesn't bore you. You don't anticipate what's coming next. Also there is a surprise element to the way this attorney defends his clients whether they are innocent or not. So grab a friend or a date get your favorite snacks and dig in for this one. I promise you wont be disappointed!!

I saw this film at a Film Festival at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood.Originality is rare commodity in film these days. It seems like everything has already been done. But this film has some ORIGINAL twists & turns. It's not predictable. That's because of the writing.And the old-fashioned Court Room Drama is a lost art. It's nice to see a film without explosions from time to time.The acting is believable.This is a smart movie. It's well-crafted and definitely worth seeing.

Watched this movie at Dances With Films Festival in LA several months ago. It is a dark twisted tale of a defense attorney who takes on guilty clients and gets innocent verdicts... for a price. When he accepts a new sexy client, he finds himself no longer emotionally disengaged. Add to the mix a humiliated cop snooping around which amps up the pressure in this taunt psychological tale of justice, remorse, and revenge. Found out that this production was shot over a couple of weeks. You would not be able tell. Slick and high quality for an indy. Writer- director Tamas Harangi has made an enjoyable feature and I look forward to more features from him. Also, performances by Sachin Mehta as the advocating attorney and Michael Raynor as the cop on the edge really stood out. I highly recommended this dark and stunning picture.
