it was going so good and then started to fall down... morgan freeman is always top tier while i didn't really like jim caviezel, he has done better (person of interest and frequences). overall it was mid, it started as a legal movie and then it kind of changed genre.

really liked it, such a nice movie
the plot twist is actually not enough, from the beginning knew that her husband hide smth
„You have no idea what it's like to see somebody you love killed right in front of you.“

An ok thriller that goes on as one would have thought; nothing spectacular, some good moments and some dull ones.
