Strong drug themes and drug use
| Directors: | Adam Kassen, Mark Kassen |
| Actors: | Chris Evans, Mark Kassen, Marshall Bell, Vinessa Shaw, Brett Cullen |
Mike Weiss is a talented young Houston lawyer and a functioning drug addict. Paul Danziger, his longtime friend and partner, is the straight-laced and responsible yin to Mike's yang. Their mum-and-pop personal injury law firm is getting by, but things get interesting when they decide to take on a case involving Vicky, a local ER nurse, who is pricked by a contaminated needle on the job. As Weiss and Danziger dig deeper into the case, a health care and pharamceutical conspiracy teeters on exposure and heavyweight attorneys move in on the defense. Out of their league but invested in their own principles, the mounting pressure of the case pushes the two underdog lawyers and their business to the breaking point.

This is a really good movie and makes you think about all the things I know drug companies don't want us to know so they can make big money. So thoughtful.

Not bad...low key but interesting. I enjoyed the acting. A bit like a John Grisham movie but without the box office factor.

Not bad, but it could have been a lot better with different Actors and a better Script.

An intriguing 'based on real events' storyline is let down by a lifeless and rather paint-by-numbers script. The performances are terrific though - particularly Evans in the lead role - and there is enough going on to keep you interested throughout. Could have been so much better in the hands of a different director/screenwriter, but still worth watching.
