We know who done it


Silent Witness (2011)

Directed by Peter Markle this TV movie based on the novel of the same name stars Dermot Mulroney, Anne Heche and Michael Cudlitz. After years away a lawyer returns to his home town to defend his best friend in a murder case.

It is hard to find much to praise about this film, the script is dripping with clichés and no twist in the plot can not be spotted from a mile off. When you do not recognise a single member of the cast it is never a good start and while most of the performances scrape by there is the odd dodgy moment here and there. Ultimately there are better ways to spend 90 minutes than watching this rehash of a number of similar films.

2/5
