When a Supreme Court judge commits suicide and his secretary is found murdered, all fingers point to Carl Anderson, a homeless veteran who's deaf and mute. But when public defender Kathleen Riley is assigned to his case, she begins to believe that Anderson may actually be innocent.

A review by JPV852
Written by JPV852 on 2026-04-14
Well directed legal thriller from Peter Yates is quite convoluted and a weak romantic element but still entertaining with Cher and Dennis Quaid putting in decent performances. **3.0/5**
