Movie Review...Beyond a Reasonable Doubt

I’m renaming this film “Six Ahas and Seven Gotchas”.

This film is the drama school lesson on the “aha” moment. It might be possible to become famous by taking down a hot shot district attorney. Let’s take a little old plain Jane murder and set up an air tight piece of tom foolery. We’ll rub egg all over Mr. DA’s face.

Is there another layer of aha evidence? Did the first aha get immolated in a gasoline fueled fireball? Yes, but don’t give Mr. DA another chance. He’s good.

Wait…Aha! Let’s look at the photo evidence. Oh, those photo nerds. Aha. Gotcha. Aha. Another aha?

I tend to shy away from those movies that seem to be sterile and made perfectly in a studio. I don’t like studio sound set audio. Don’t use that cheese factory music. And for goodness sake, let’s work on the last line. As I think about motives for making this film, I’d say an arrogant producer hired a cheap director and then told him what to do. Like a two dollar paperback. No brainer. This movie is a 3/10.
