Title: Not as good as it could have been, but still worth watching.
Review: It is a pity, that the scriptwriting on this movie did not match the acting. The plot ( a Basic Instinct lookalike )is in itself very interesting, but it becomes too complex, leaving unnecessary loose ends. If the makers had given the movie another ten minutes they might have had a beter product. Even so, it is a suspenseful thriller that will keep the attention right to the end. Marlle Matlin as the traumatised attorney and Jeff Fahey as the policeman who falls for her are good in their roles, portraying a genuine fondness for each other. This makes the movie in my opinion better than Basic Instinct were the affection between the leads seemed rather shallow and purely sexual. Fahey and Matlin show far deeper feelings which gives When Justice Fails an emotionel depth which most thrillers lack.
