The finger is soon pointing in every direction, but it ends up with Sabich in the dock, amid a flurry of fingerprints, sperm samples, carpet fibres and that elusive murder weapon. His boss, the evidently corrupt Raymond Horgan (played with smarmy leverage by the not-seen-enough Brian Dennehy) could be playing him a deuce, being fully stacked with his own political machinations and sexual indelicacies. His innocence, deliciously, is never fully clear, but as he’s played by Ford we can’t help but presume him innocent, even if he has wronged his winsomely devoted wife Bonnie Bedelia. A well-rigged whodunit based on the bestseller by Scott Turrow, that pretends to investigate the various political manipulations that haunt your average district attorney’s office (would it even lead to murder?) but is in truth about the wages of sin (that Harrison Ford’s sturdy family man Rusty Sabich is doing some extracurricular bonding with Greta Scacchi’s fast-tracked legal wannabe).įord is a good call as the stern Sabich, his attitude is like his haircut, cut to the temple.
