Review of The Whole Truth (2016) by Imthenoob — 31 Dec 2016

I'm really on the fence about this. I like Reeves but I felt he wasn't really used to his full potential during the film. He honestly just came off more of a poster boy than a lead role. You could tell one of the main characters was more involved than they claimed to be but you don't figure out until the end as to how involved. So it is a little predictable but not so much where you still can't enjoy watching it.

The supporting cast really stepped up and made this movie a lot better than it would have been without them. I am disappointed in Zellweger though. I felt she lacked that certain ability (acting) and didn't sell her performance at all. She should just go away quietly and never return.

Overall, Not a bad movie. It's a decent enough courtroom drama to want to sit through and the run time is reasonable enough where you wouldn't get tired of sitting through it. Potential was there was a bit more improvement though - More Reeves mainly, Maybe being more subtle with the twists and predictability. Worth a Redbox rental though if you are a fan of Reeves, Other than that I wouldn't really recommend it as it's not really noteworthy.
