    I can't believe Rotten Tomatoes was so hard on this film. This is a good story with an excellent cast. This not a Die Hard style story filled CGI and car crashes; it just a good detective movie. I enjoyed the way the ending was done.
  • Intriguing, Dramatic Thriller at its best !!!

    This movie is positively excellent and my first five-star rating on ITunes! Sean Connery and Blair Underwood give stunning performances throughout this murder-based dramatic thriller! The attention never waivers and while conclusions are made quickly as to innocence and guilt; they are soon dashed long before the film draws to a jaw-dropping close. The writing, direction, and performance are dynamic. These facets, coupled with the setting of the South Florida Everglades where everyone speaks some truth and untruth about everyone, make the movie a compelling "must see" for anyone looking for two hours of deep drama, intrigue, and a revolutionary surprise ending.

    Sean Connery has to be the all-time best actor and in his various roles he makes the movie-goer feel and think with him. In this movie, you are drawn into the injustice of the case just as the professor is. The roller-coaster ride of evidence finally brings relief from the audience as justice prevails...or does it? Just when the movie is closing, we turn a corner and discover that the whole time there has been a story within a story. Fantastically convinicing. Strong characters. Powerful drama....but one fatal flaw...our own desire for the removal of injustice. A must see movie for all Sean Connery fans and people who like a story of dram, intrigue, and in the same genre as Grisham. Rent it!
