Review of Primal Fear (1996) by Waleed A — 09 Jun 2018
Good movie with a good story and star-making performance by ed norton. a little dated. not as enthralling as another similar old court movie I recently rewatched in a few good men. also a few questionable parts. if this movie was made right and using today's standards, it could have been amazing (about 3 viewings).
SPOILERS.
This movie has a really great twist, but could have been executed way better. aaron seems to be extremely clever but at the last second makes a completely unnecessary mistake. he just volunteers the information that gives him away. if it was part of a conversation or done in a more clever way, it could have been a lot more impactful. same with the final reveal with the cliched slow clap. he also volunteered more unnecessary info that he murdered the girl which wasn't even in question.
