130 minute running time so at least 30 to 40 minutes too long. Smarmy Richard Gere with his close-set eyes and expensive haircut. Laura Linney and her resting bitch face. Frasier’s dad playing a bad cop. Chinless Francis McDormand as gullible shrink. Star of the show was Edward Norton, who plays a very believable baby-faced dolt with fake southern accent.

Did the story make any sense? No. Why did Edward allow himself to get caught? How did he know Gere would defend him? Was he going to use the Jekyll and Hyde thing with a $40K a year public defender?

By the way, Gere’s car is a 1978 Mercedes-Benz 300 CD. Linney: “I don't need an old Mercedes. I don't need to see my resting bitch face on the evening news.”

But what a breath of fresh air that the Catholic archbishop was simply directing the kids from Savior House in his pr0n productions instead of molesting the altar boys himself.

They were able to check off two boxes by making the pushover judge both black and female, check check! John Farr recommended this, but it was way way too long and dumb for me (but funny in its own way).
