Beyond a doubt, Beyond A Reasonable Doubt is not reasonable . . .
Many facets of the contrived plot don’t make sense because people wouldn’t act that way in the real world. The performances aren’t anything to get excited about. And the timetable of the movie is way off.
That said, we enjoyed the film’s predictable twists, turns, and straight-aways.
The basic premise: An investigative reporter sets himself up as the prime suspect in a murder by fabricating circumstantial evidence after the fact to boost his career and expose a corrupt district attorney who is fabricating D.N.A. evidence after the fact to boost his conviction rate.
Life is full of pot holes on the journey from Here to There. This film emulates life. Navigate around the plot holes and you’ll reach the beginning in the end.
Aah . . . that’s better!
