REVIEW: The killing. The conviction. The cover-up. Now James Wood is about to go up against corruption and conspiracy at the highest level of New York City law enforcement in this action-packed courtroom drama.
Woods is spellbinding as Eddie Dodd, once an acclaimed civil rights attorney of th’60s, now an embittered cynic who makes a living defending drug dealing low-lifes. Dodd’s passion for justice is rekindled when an idealistic young (Robert Downey Jr.) urges him to re-open an eight-year-old murder case involving a young prisoner serving life in Sing Sing for a gang initiation killing. Dodd’s frenetic search for the truth takes him through a harrowing maze of unscrupulous prosecutors, white supremacist hate groups and corrupt cops. But is he willing to put his life on the line in defence of his beliefs? A powerful thriller takes a piercing look at justice for all, from all sides of the American legal system.
