The Trials of Cate
McCall (2013)
Written and directed
by Karen Moncrieff this film stars Kate Beckinsale, Anna Anissimova,
Nick Nolte and James Cromwell. A high flying lawyer just out of rehab
is forced to work the case of a girl she thinks is guilty of murder.
There is a kernel of
an interesting idea here but unfortunately it is wrapped up in a some
what unbelievable legal plot that makes the whole film disappointing.
I would much rather that the film had focused more on the character
arc of the protagonist rather than the legal drama. Kate Beckinsale
does her best but I think the script is a let down from the get go.
2/5
