Review title: Morose and weak-kneed Raging Bull knock-off
Product review: It would so easy to lavish accolades on this movie because it was "based on a true story". But I didn't as much as raise an eyebrow, so that's not a problem for me:) The problem for me is to see anything redeeming in a film that portrays blame shifting and gutlessness as if they were virtue. Seemed like hours and hours of Denzel Washington & Co. hemming and hawing and trying to prove his innocence and doing what is right, for nothing more than putting on a weak, cockamamie and sappily over-acted version of "Raging Bull".But don't get me wrong...Denzel Washington & Co. did a wonderful job convincing me of their cluelessness. But is this really something I need to see portrayed for the price I spent on this rental? A film should inspire, entertain, educate. This did none of the above. It just spun its wheels and lapsed into cliche and pulled easy strings to get a tear or two.Overall I give it one star - don't waste your time. Sure wish I hadn't!
