Primal Fear

I took a friend's recommendation and bought Primal Fear for $4.00 with the intention of watching it for the first time. It features Richard Gere, who honestly creeps me the fuck out, Edward Norton, and Laura Linney primarily. Norton is the real treat as a southern rube who is portrayed as a simpleton responsible for a heinous crime that he knows/remembers nothing about. Gere is a super-lawyer, his only role he excels in, the rich DOUCHER. The movie revolves around the hunt to bring a Bishop's killer to justice. There's a lot of in's & out's & what-have-yous that keep things very interesting. Frances McDermond is tragically underused, but still a decent part of it. If you enjoy your John Grisham books, or murder/mysteries, you're going to be a huge fan. It's a great murder mystery with excellent actors and an interesting story. I was severely disappointed in the twist ending knowing that there was easily more story to be told that they just bailed on. It was very sad because it took another step, then it fell off a cliff rather than keep on ascending. Bottom Line: 7.3 out of 10. Interesting, but the abrupt ending was fairly disappointing. Worth it to watch Norton dominate, though it takes too long for my liking and ends too quickly afterwards.
