once you pick your jaw up from off the floor from the realization that they . somehow . manage to put this thing together so fast that it be release the same year the case end and you will find that it not half bad . the plot be engage and interesting and and the pacing be fast and with this cover many situation and and thus often jump swiftly on to the next one after a line or two have be speak . where this really stand out be the acting . the performance be excellent . neill and streep be both impeccable . it also cool to hear so much australian speak in a hollywood film and and even those who do not come naturally to it at least attempt an accent . the cinematography and edit be nice enough and but they do not really go beyond the standard stuff . this movie story be compel and the fact that it be authentic just make it all the more chilling . while i have not read the novel or heard of what happen outside of this picture and i understand that it be quite close to the truth . there be some moderate to strong language and disturb content in this . it be and at time and a downright great courtroom drama . i recommend this to any fellow fan of such . positive .
