Cast looks great, Clint Eastwood directing & a fairly simple premise which usually makes for a "better" story with these heavily character driven films - all that makes it very likely I'll watch this in the cinema.

Looks really good, great director, solid story and an impressive cast - I'll be having some of that

Great cast, well acted and more plot holes than a Swiss cheese. I just didn't think it was great, given the calibre of the actors and director.

Apparently Nicholas Hoult is 6'3" and Kiefer Sutherland is 5'9"

Great film, one hell of dilemma and a real mind ****
Thought the cast was good. Good build up and tension and as @MadMossy mentioned what a situation.
Overall I thought
Overall 6/10. It was a little weak in a few areas imo but overall shot well and was enjoyable enough.
Overall I thought
The last act lost direction. Great build up and tension and solid acting. But there wasn't really a pay off or conclusion.
After the novelty of the story they didn't really knew what to do with it. Whole premise was build towards the ramifications of the decision and inevitable collision of morality and justice.
The ending for me was a little cop out. Left too open ended to nail the landing and left me unsatisfied.

Just got back from watching this. I thought it was really good, kept questioning what i’d do in that situation. Its a real thought provoking film.

@Reuben klang
The dilemma was extended to her also, she had just become the AG and to tell the truth was the end of her career so the choice would have been extremely tough, but not doing the right thing would have eaten her and him alive

True, but my thinking was she could spun it with we’ve found new evidence. It’s certainly has you thinking throughout.
I enjoyed it a lot. Not exactly what I expected from the trailer, but that wasn't necessarily bad.
Generally I like courtroom stuff as well, and have read a lot of Grisham novels. I give this a solid 8.5/10. It could have been a 9 but the ending was a bit divisive, albeit it still had me on tenterhooks till the final scene.
I think I like the way it ended, but it's one of those movies where i'd love to know/see if any alternative endings were filmed.
Keifer and J.K. Simmons barely in it and both just played the same sort of character/stye as in every movie!
