My suggestion this week is a taut court-room thriller from 1987, The Last Innocent Man.-
It's an HBO film starring Ed Harris as the best defense attorney in Portland. He's burned out but gets seduced into defending a man charged with murdering a woman vice cop.
-
As always, Harris is great, and so is the supporting cast: Roxanne Hart (Highlander), David Suchet (Foolproof), and Bruce McGill (Animal House).
-
It's rated R for nudity, language and a little violence.
-
It got less-than-glorious reviews on imdb.com, and an average viewer rating of 6.6 out of 10 stars. But I really liked this movie.
-
Yes, it has some cliches but the main characters are all 3-dimensional; superbly written, directed and acted.
