Wendell Rohr

This movie is about a woman’s husband who is shot and killed. Holding the gun manufacturers’ responsible for his death, she hires optimistic lawyer Wendell Rohr to help her win the case. A good man of principle, Wendell takes charge. On the defense team, another man will take charge: Rankin Fitch, a powerful and ruthless jury consultant riding high on his frequent successes. But in the middle of it all is the jury, which both Wendell and Rankin are determined to sway. But what they're about to discover, is that one man and one woman stand in their way. Nicholas Easter is one of the jurors and he's the one collaborating with Marlee, his girlfriend, on the final outcome of the case. She tries to play both the lawyer defending the widow, Wendall
Rohr, and Fitch by telling them to pay her ten million dollars to "buy their verdict". Fitch tries to stay one step ahead of her, but Nick and Marlee are always two steps ahead. My reaction to this movie is somewhat of a shock. I mean I love how Marlee and Nick take control of their situation in a case like this. Their manipulation skills are just so entertaining to see. The way they just command the two lawyers with their proposal is beyond me. It is also shocking to me because I could see this happening in our society. It’s a shame to have our society come down to this though. It’s sad that our society is completely commanded by money and all it has to offer. The truth these days means virtually nothing. You could kill anyone and get away with it if you have enough money to offer. I simply do not like the way the movie portrays this concept. I do not feel its right to leave the truth in the hands of money. I believe that the side that posses the most truth should be chosen because it true not because this side offered more money than the other. It is morally wrong. Not to mention to the fact it is a gateway to utter legal disaster. If this were to actually occur there is no telling what it could lead to. If happens in one case then it will happen in another case and then before you know it every case is commanded by money and the truth is worth nothing. Although this movie was very good and entertaining I feel the plot could portray the wrong message to someone.
