Reviews

Reel Film Reviews

David Nusair

...a fairly standard legal procedural that’s elevated by its raft of agreeable, engaging attributes...

Woods' angry energy is clarifying as well as terrifying, and when he unleashes it (usually without warning), the effect is to focus our attention where it belongs, not on a suspense story but on the mysteries of human behavior.
