Clever twists and a bona fide surprise ending make this an above-average courtroom thriller, tapping into the post-O.J. scrutiny of our legal system in the case of a hotshot Chicago defense attorney (Richard Gere) whose latest client is an altar boy (Edward Norton) accused of murdering a Catholic archbishop. The film uses its own manipulation to tell a story about manipulation, and when we finally discover who's been pulling the strings, the payoff is both convincing and pertinent to the ongoing debate over what constitutes truth in the American system of justice. Making an impressive screen debut that has since led to a stellar career, Norton gives a performance that rides on a razor's edge of schizophrenic pathology--his role is an actor's showcase, and without crossing over the line of credibility, Norton milks it for all it's worth. Gere is equally effective in a role that capitalizes on his shifty screen persona, and Laura Linney and Frances McDormand give memorable performances in their intelligently written supporting roles. --Jeff Shannon

Primal Fear is a really good movie, it was full of suspence, and the ending you would never see coming.

The worst thing I can say about `Primal Fear' is that it plays out like an extended episode of `Law & Order'; but that being the worst of it is really not so bad. I actually enjoy a good episode of `Law & Order', and beings that this follows the `SVU' pattern of process (which happens to be my favorite variation of the `Law & Order' franchise) I am really quite impressed with this film. It isn't perfect, and there are a few plot holes that take away from the films credibility, but it is nothing so immense that it remains unforgivable. No, `Primal Fear' is actually well crafted and splendidly acted to the point where its faults are easily overlooked.
The film tells the story of Aaron Stampler, a troubled young man who was found fleeing the bloody aftermath of the archbishop's murder. Aaron, who served as an alter boy, claims to have blacked out after seeing another man standing over the archbishop's body. He doesn't remember a thing aside from the fact that he didn't do ...

First the cast - who is better than Ed Norton at playing a mentally challenged person ( see The Score ), Richard Gere is certainly one of the best, and Andre Braugher while not a household name is great, plus Laura Linney, John Mahoney, and Maura Tierney. Second - the plot is fantastic and that is the correct word but you have to see it right to the very end to understand why. If you haven't seen it, buy it, rent it, borrow it, steal it, but don't miss it.

This is one of the best "lawyer" movies you'll ever see with fabulous performances by Richard Gere, Laura Linney, Frances McDormand and an absolutely Academy Award level performance by Edward Norton.
Sit back and enjoy!
