cher play the role of a dedicated public defender who be give a case just a she be about to collapse from overwork . the poor guy have be live on the street for year and be accuse of kill a young woman for a lousy $ 9 . he would not talk to police and cher have to draw him out before she can even begin to find some way to defend him . there be several well plan surprise and i never have the feeling any of the cast be act . this be one movie that have me fool a to who the real culprit be right to the end . i like that . if i can guess the outcome halfway through the movie it be a turn off and total disappointment to me . seven star be high for me . it take a lawrence of arabia or go with the wind to get 10 star from me .
