Eddie Dodd is a burnt out former civil rights lawyer who now specializes in defending drug dealers. Roger Baron, newly graduated from law school, has followed Eddie's great cases and now wants to learn at his feet. With Roger's idealistic prodding, Eddie reluctantly takes on a case of a young Korean man who, according to his mother, has been in jail for eight years for a murder he didn't commit.

"It can get pretty funny how perfectly energetic the lead performance is. It stops before it ruins the movie for me but yeah, this James Woods guy is over the top. The court scenes are done in a different manner than I'm used to, but it felt more streamlined. My biggest issue with this movie is that it being a racially-motivated case was just a prop for this action-thriller movie. The movie is kind of basic, but it gets a lot of good things well and the bad stuff really shows."
