A murder of crows
Threat advisory: Under evaluation
Movie propaganda
A gifted lawyer turned author is about to write himself a death sentence.
Lawson Russell (Cuba Gooding Junior) is an outstanding attorney with a reputation for defending citizens who are influential rather than innocent.
However, when Lawson takes on the case of Thurman Parks III (Eric Stoltz), a rich client he knows is guilty, Lawson decides he will no longer defend the indefensible. During the trial, he deliberately questions his client "unjustly" and is subsequently disbarred. His career over, Lawson turns to writing and meets an author with an intriguing manuscript: the story of a man who kills five lawyers whose shady clients have all been acquitted of crimes. When the author dies, Lawson submits the manuscript as his own and becomes a best-selling writer. But when a detective (Tom Berenger) discovers that the murders in the book are not fictitious at all, Lawson moves from being a celebrated author to a most wanted murderer.
Also starring Marianne Jean-Baptiste.
