A courtroom thriller slides into nightmare as a defense attorney (A.J. Cook) discovers her towering client may not be the innocent oddball he seems. What starts as a procedural shifts into something more primal, with the film asking whether the law is equipped to weigh the inhuman. Brian Scott O'Connor is unforgettable as the accused; Sebastian Roché and Vik Sahay round out a cast that treats the twists as matters of moral consequence.
