Murder in the First (1995)

Rate: 8
Viewed: 3/06

3/06: Murder in the First is a well-directed picture by Marc Rocco who got the best effort out of Christian Slater and Kevin Bacon.

If there's a top performance in Kevin Bacon's oeuvre, it's this one. The same goes for Christian Slater. However, I'm disappointed with Gary Oldman's phony acting.

I love the story and the courtroom drama although the movie can be meandering at times. No matter what, it's exciting and arresting to watch.

All in all, Murder in the First is compelling.
