I for one am a sucker for trial movies and though as you say they are laden with cliches I never seem to tire of them, particularly when one is as well done as this one is.
Follow Ups:
Court movies always have strong attraction, as so much gets compressed into limited space, all sorts of sub-stories, discoveries, betrails, shocks, etc. And you are right to some degree that most of them do rely on that sudden turn. Perhaps because without it there is not much else, just bickering, followed by the decision - how exciting! But interesting cases do take place in real life. I remember being glued to the tube for the televized trial of William Kennedy Smith, defended by Roy Black - that was a spectacle beating most court dramas!
"I remember being glued to the tube for the televized trial of William Kennedy Smith, defended by Roy Black - that was a spectacle beating most court dramas!".......The one in which William had been boozing it up with Uncle Teddy down at the local bar.....and then William took off with some gal he met at the bar and raped her? Those Kennedys - always with the sex and the booze. Such drama!
The way Roy Black dressed down the lady prosecutor was breathtaking.
years back with such a moment: the eye witness hadn't revealed to the prosecution that she was legally blind! When the defense brought that out, you could have knocked over the prosecutor with a feather.
