Reasonable Doubt (2014) 7/10

Starring : Dominic Cooper, Samuel L Jackson, Gloria Reuben, Ryan Robbins, Erin Karpluk, Dylan Taylor
Director : Peter P Croudins
Running Time : 92 mins

When hot shot district attorney Mitch Brockden (Cooper) flees the scene of a hit and run, he is shocked to see the victim on the news the next morning, having been discovered in the back of a van. Brockden takes the case as prosecution against Clinton Davis (Jackson), the owner of the van, but Davis gets off. That’s when Brockden starts to have doubts about how innocent David really is...

This was actually not that bad. The direction of the movie almost tricks the viewer into believing that the plot is entirely going to be about Cooper trying to frame Jackson for the hit and run so that he can get off scot free, but the twist in the tale really makes this an intriguing plot, but the execution could have been better, and the risk in Cooper’s actions could have been explored further to make this a truly exciting thriller.
