" After assassinating the President, Amos Otis pleads self-defense and must convince the jury that America was not only under attack by its unhinged ruler - but that his actions saved the country and the world. The assassin's provocative testimony puts our country on trial and challenges the jury to side with a murderer out to save them. No one can tell if he's a mad man, a con man or savior of the world. Not even his attorney. This searing, mind-bending political thriller is in the spirit of the Twilight Zone and based on a Pulitzer Prize-nominated play." IMDb
Staring Josh Katawick, Rico Reed, and Michael Bath and directed by Greg Newberry.
Ok this is a tricky one to review, it's part courtroom drama, part crazy man, with a hint of science fiction thrown into the mix.
Now personally I'm not a fan of courtroom dramas, but I found this strangly gripping. With solid performances from the three main actors.
The locations/sets are minimal, but that said it's based on a stage play, but in fairness the sets look like a real courtroom (probably is) and the other sets look real enough, and as mentioned the acting is very good. All in all a good and gripping courtroom drama, with a few twists... no spoilers.
Wayne Rating 8/10 Well worth a watch IMHO. (I don't like courtroom dramas but I enjoyed this)
