The honest verdict
Viewers like it. An edge-of-your-seat, dark and mind-bending drama film, best on your own. Sam Bowden is a small-town corporate attorney. Max Cady is a tattooed, cigar-smoking, Bible-quoting, psychotic rapist. What do they have in common? 14 years ago, Sam was a public defender assigned to Max Cady's rape trial, and he made a serious error: he hid a document from his illiterate client that could have gotten him acquitted. Now, the cagey Cady has been released, and he intends to teach Sam Bowden and his family a thing or two about loss.
“'Counselor, could you be there?'”A viewer review
Heads up: some sexual content, a lot of violence, some strong language and a lot of scary scenes.
