Reeves has made a nice come back in recent years with the John
Wick series and for one reason or another decided to make this
lackluster courtroom drama. Also starring Renee Zellweger, The
Whole Truth (2016) tells the story of a struggling lawyer who is
trying to protect a rich kid who presumably murdered his father, who
wasn't that great of a guy to begin with. There really isn't
anything that puts this movie on a level higher than an episode of
Law and Order, save maybe some more violence. I felt that
this could have been pushed further and been a bit more interesting,
alas the overall story comes up a bit short.
The
hardest part of this movie is trying to figure out who to root for,
as all of the characters are pretty shallow and none really
relatable. They all seem to have their own motives, though the
lawyer-speak and the realism seems to be on point. All in all, the
film is pretty forgettable and is worth watching for the performances
of Reeves alone.
Presented
in 1080p high definition with a widescreen 2.40:1 aspect ratio and a
great sounding DTS-HD MA (Master Audio) lossless 5.1 track, the
presentation is up to solid Blu-ray standards. The tones are pretty
realistic throughout with muted whites and earth tones for the court
room scenes and more natural looking exteriors. Nothing too special
in terms of the look of the film.
Also
included is a Digital UV copy.
No
extras.
