Slick, slightly sleazy hard-drinking lawyer has to defend suspicious rich kid who may or may not be a murderer (although he obviously is).
Hard boiled (like an egg) story, told in a fairly unflashy way, maybe a little overwhelmed by the soundtrack sometimes - having 'Moment of Truth' by Gang Starr playing in a legal thriller at the resolution of the plot is a bit too literal but otherwise this is a decent film.
Fairly realistically done except of course for the main lawyer character who although he seems to live from the back of his car and drinks almost constantly, still maintains a successful career and comes over as quite likeable.
It's wrong to generalise, but in the real world, all lawyers are evil cunts.
