Rating: 3.5/4 --
The plot is as good as crime procedurals get, but the movie is really better than its plot because of the three-dimensional characters.

An unfolding mystery in which truth is elusive, and twists are the order of the day...gives Norton a career-making opportunity to strut his stuff. [Blu-ray]

Edward Norton became an instant star after making a splashy, Oscar-nominated performance in this well-executed horror thriller.

Chicago Sun-Times
The part of the script that's dialogue instead of plot is quite snappy. So I believed in this sordid story... for a while.

...a solid drama that's elevated on an all-too-consistent basis by Norton's impressively hypnotic work.

...[Gere] shows what an interesting actor he can be. PRIMAL FEAR contains some of his best work...

Product Description:
Powerful, media-hungry Chicago defense attorney Martin Vail (Richard Gere) gets in over his head when he takes the case of an altar boy (Edward Norton making his film debut) accused of murdering an archbishop. His opponent for the prosecution is his former protege and lover Janet Venable (Laura Linney), who's out to make this her watershed case. A suspenseful courtroom with a truly unexpected ending, this drama is based on the novel by William Diehl.
