Primal Fear

⭐8/10

Just an old-fashioned good movie. This is a 90s courtroom drama that Jess chose, and was Edward Norton's debut that nearly earned him an Academy Award. It's about this hotshot lawyer who takes on a case in which sweet little Edward Norton is accused of murdering a famous priest. There's lots of twists and turns as you learn more and more about all the people involved, all the complexities that make them up and complicate this crime. 

It's good! There is nothing wrong with this movie. It's smart, it looks good, it's really well acted, especially by Norton. It keeps you guessing, keeps you interested, and I think the ending is super rewarding. It's definitely a little 90s in how earnest it is at times, but I kinda like that for a change. 

Easy recommend. Might not blow you away, but sure to please.
