7.0Great performance from Jeremy Irons, well deserving of his Best Actor Academy Award, kind of is a letdown as both a legal and character drama. Some nice moments and solid performances from everyone but not sure I'll remember this one down the road. **3.5/5**

His character - Klaus von Bulow - has just been convicted of attempting to marry his wealthy, socialite, wife Sonny (Glenn Close) by injecting her with drugs and leaving her to freeze to death on the bathroom floor (odd how they've got $14 million in the bank but never turn the central heating on!). Anyway, now she is lying in a coma and he is desperate so engages the services - at $300 a day, no less - of law…
