Needling

Puncture (2011)

Like many legal dramas this film claims to be “based on a true story” and stars Chris Evans. Hospitals will not buy a new safety syringe because there is a monopoly on medical purchasing so some lawyers take up the case.

For a legal drama there is not a lot of court room action and seems to be caught between being a legal drama and an issues film. The most interesting character in the film is the lawyer with a drug problem but while we see the affects it has on his life we never get to find out the reasons for it which is a real shame. In the end this is a fairly average film that highlights the problem at hand but does not do so in an overly entertaining way.

3/5
