Not So Much a Fall as a Stumble
13 December 2009
Warning: Spoilers
A "film noir" filmed in color, this story about a DA who shoots from being a student to the DA trips over itself from the start with spurts of action mixed with schmaltzy melodrama that comes across ultimately as an overly long TV movie.

The only saving graces are the talents of Gandolfini & Dreyfus but sadly they are on screen far too seldom.

The exciting start is like a colorful cover of a boring book (remember those?). Leave it on the shelf. It's a confused mess which (according to IMDb) had an alternate ending which is apparent not knowing what to make of itself.

Nightfall & darkness is a mercy sometimes.
