I enjoyed the film but it would have been a much more interesting film if they had included the interracial romance between Roberts and Washington. That is, if they didn't make it a taboo thing but a realtionship thing. As the film is now, you lose interest within the first hour. It becomes a mind movie instead of a heart movie, which all the great movies are.

This movie wasn't billed as a romance, and though the two characters do get together at the end of the book, it felt as though that part of the plot was just added in as a crowd pleaser. It's a legal thriller, thats all it attempts to be and it fulfils this role. A gratuitous romance would have detracted from the tension and ruined the film.
shareNo.. they should be together in the last scene imo ;(
I think it'd make it more interesting
"Shame on you if you fool me once, Shame on me if you fool me twice
if it was about some advanced underwear, instead of a file, i think it would have been more thrilling.
His name...was Julio Iglesias!
I'm gonna have to disagree on that, because romance would have detracted from the quality of this movie as a legal thriller.
shareI found it was refreshing that two hot key characters didn't have to "get it on".
I also like that there was indeed a romance - but it was a slow burn which I think was more powerful than the standard formula (and also more believable).
Funny how they tend to do this when it's an interracial romance involving a white person. The Pelican Brief, Pacific Rim, The Edge of Seventeen, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Rogue One, etc.
shareNo thanks.
shareroberts had the romance with sam shepherd in this movie
