One thing the Bogart movie did better than the original play was show the action rather than describe it in a courtroom. As a play set almost entirely in the courtroom, the casting needs to be perfect.
The casting in this new movie was not perfect. I don’t even know what accent or speech affectation Sutherland was attempting to pull off, but he failed. It felt like a tired episode of “JAG” (now known as the NCIS prequel). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
