just cause showcase sean connery a a harvard law prof and kate capshaw ( do she still get work . ) a his wife ( slight age difference ) and lawrence fishburne a a racist southern cop ( . ) and ed harris in a totally over the top rendition of a fundamentalist southern serial killer . weird casting and but the movie play serious mindf with the audience . ( do not read if you ever intend to seriously watch this film or to ever watch this film seriously due to the spoiler ) first of all and i felt myself roll my eye repeatedly at the liberal stereotype represent the cop be all sadistic and frame this black guy with no evidence . the coroner and witness and even the lawyer of the accused collaborate against him ( he be accuse of the rape and murder of a young girl ) because he be black . connery be a harvard law prof who give impassioned speech about the injustice against black and against the barbarous death penalty . he be approach by the convict man grandmother to defend him and re open the trial . connery be stonewall ( yawn . ) by the small town official and the good il boy club but find that the case against blair and the allege killer and now on death row and be all fabricate . the main evidence be his confession which be beat out of him . the beating be administer by a black cop ( . ) who even play russian roulette to get the confession out of him . connery find out that another inmate on death row actually do the murder and after a few tete a tetes with a seriously overact and hannibal lecter like ed harris and he find out where harris hide the murder weapon . he get a re trial and blair be free . i think . film over . then suddenly . it turn out that blair be a psychotic psycho and that he use white guilt to enlist connery . he concoct the story with ed harris in return for blair carry out a few murder for harris . now blair be on the loose again and thanks to connery deluded pc principle . the final 30 min . be a weird action movie tack onto a legal drama and connery and fishburne fight the serial killer in an alligator skin house on stilt ( yes and you read that right ) in the everglades . that be one weird film . so the whole system be corrupt and inefficient and the cop be all just bully and abu graib type torturer and but the criminal be really psychotic and deserve to fry . truly depress on every level . the system be completely rotten and the pc white guilt type who challenge it be seriously delude too . two thumb down . connery obviously have to make a mortgage payment or something .
