The trials of Kate

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
