This John Grisham adaptation is a stylish thriller enhanced by great performances from its stars. Kenneth Branagh is lawyer Rick Magruder, who has a one-night-stand with caterer Mallory Doss (Embeth Davidtz). He soon becomes hooked on her and, when he learns that her father Dixon (Robert Duvall) is threatening her, he puts the weight of his law firm behind her, arresting Dixon and forcing her ex- husband Pete (Tom Berenger) to testify against Dixon. Things go horribly wrong, however, when Dixon escapes from the mental hospital where he is incarcerated - because Magruder knows he will stop at nothing to get revenge.
