ThiefHott Too much of everything
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
matthew-vaughn-141-344338 The Hitchcockian plot is kind of perfect for a fun-little-detective-movie, but this film just does not get it right. The dialogue, the police work, the court room scenes...are all totally unbelievable. If you can suspend your disbelief enough you might enjoy the ride. I couldn't get past it.
Nadine Salakov This is another one of those rare thrillers that slipped through the cracks, and for good reason, the plot is horrible and too upsetting, to base a movie plot off of someone leaving another person to die alone in the middle of the street is vile, it's an awful basis for a story line, the writers, director, actors e.c.t must have lost their minds to want to make and participate in a movie that is so inhumane, regardless if the guy left for dead is a bad guy it's just more and more evil piling on top of each other and it doesn't stop, this is not a decent thriller, the dreadful plot outweighs any good acting this flick has, thrillers can be dark - but not this dark because they just become non-enjoyable, i recommend another film that has a similar title but has a completely different plot "Beyond A Reasonable Doubt" remake.
Dan Samuel L.'s performance was strong (as usual) however the rest of the movie was lacking. Too much of the plot was unbelievable (I'm sorry but the escape from the police station scene... yeah right) and the other actors were disappointing. It did have some exciting moments but, in the end, this movie was just another crime thriller without any real substance and with "inorganic" character development (I'm looking at you, Mr. Cooper). If you're looking for a movie to pass the time and keep you slightly entertained for an hour and a half, this fits the bill. Otherwise, I suggest you look elsewhere for something with a more believable plot and better acting.
Claudio Carvalho In Chicago, the ambitious prosecutor Mitch Brockden (Dominic Cooper) is happily married with Rachel Brockden (Erin Karpluk) and they have a baby daughter. One night, Mitch goes to a bar to celebrate with his friend Stuart Wilson (Dylan Taylor) and other colleagues and when he is trying to take a cab, he sees two men snooping around his brand new SUV. He decides to drive home and accidentally hits a man on the street. He calls 911 in a phone booth and drives home, leaving the man on the street. On the next morning, Mitch learns on the news that a man called Clinton Davis (Samuel L. Jackson) was found with the body of the man in his van and claimed that he was helping the stranger in a hit-and-run. However the Police Detective Blake Kanon (Gloria Reuben) believes that Clinton is a wanted serial-killer. Mitch believes that the man is innocent and helps him in his trial and Clinton is declared not-guilty. But soon Mitch discovers how dangerous Clinton is and now his family is jeopardized."Reasonable Doubt" is a lame and corny thriller that is usually broadcast. The plot has a promising beginning but the development is imbecile and unbelievable. The conscience crisis of Mitch and his investigation are absurd in the context of the story. The conclusion is a corny happy ending. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "Um Álibi Perfeito" ("A Perfect Alibi")
