Judicial Consent
(1994)
|
Judge Gwen Warwick is at the top of her profession until one of her close colleagues is murdered. As investigations proceed Gwen herself becomes a suspect... |
Bonnie Bedelia — still best known as singlet man Bruce Willis's wife in Die Hard — takes centre stage in this above average straight-to-video thriller. She plays a judge who finds herself being drawn into a complex revenge plot designed to frame her for murder. The story defies belief but at least puts a fresh spin on the legal thriller format, and Bedelia delivers a typically gutsy performance. She is well supported by Billy Wirth, Will Patton and Dabney Coleman.
