Why watch this?
This is one of Ford's riskier roles, but it pays off.
Plot Summary:
Rusty Sabich is a dedicated prosecutor in a large city's
district attorney's office. When a female colleague is brutally
murdered, Sabich is assigned to investigate the case. However,
his past involvement with the victim soon leads to him becoming
the prime suspect.
Dad's Preview:
In this intelligent courtroom thriller, an attractive female attorney is
murdered and her lawyer becomes a suspect. Ford is excellent as
an upstanding, successful man with a big secret. This great film is full of
plot twists, which I love. It all builds to a very surprising ending.
