Primal Fear

Starring: Edward Norton, Richard Gere
Director: Gregory Hoblit

Paramount Home Entertainment | March 10, 2009 | DVD

In Chicago, an Archbishop has been brutally murdered, and a sweet-faced altar boy named Aaron -- who was seen fleeing the scene of the crime and whose clothes were soaked in blood -- is charged with the crime. Aaron claims he was present when the murder occurred, but that he is not the killer. Coming to Aaron's rescue in this high-profile case is Martin Vail, a cocky lawyer who loves the media's spotlight as much as he loves his job. The legal road ahead of Martin and Aaron is filled with many obstacles, including a very determined prosecuting attorney (who's Martin's ex-lover), revelations about the Archbishop's "relationship" with the altar boys, and Aaron himself, who has a very violent, repugnant second personality named Roy. Is Aaron/Roy guilty? Or is he taking the fall for someone else?

    Not another court room drama

    How many court room movie's have been made? there must be hundreds. This movie should not fall under that catagory. This movie keeps guessing all the way through, and the ending, I don't think anyone will see it coming, I know I didn't. I am not a big Richard Gere fan, nad I still am not. He is okay in this movie, but not great. The prize for best actor in this movie goes to Edward Norton. In his first on-screen movie he rocks. He should have one the Oscar for best supporting actor. I am not a big fan of Lara Linney ethier, but I can tolerate her in this movie. She is accually pretty good for her role. I like how they choose not to go Hollywond chessy, and stay to to the book. This is not a court room movie, it's a triller, and it's a thriller that delevers.
