Ramsay uses the evidence to try to exonerate his client, while his new colleague Janel (Gugu Mbataraau) tries to dig deeper - and begins to realize the whole truth only she can unravel. 1].

    Keanu is really suitable to play this kind of unspeakable and not very strong role. ps: I started to see him feel so haggard and distressed me to death. Fortunately, he knew the source of his pain when the truth became clear. It was only necessary for the plot, and it was okay. Even if you fade, you will always be "the one"

    The plot is actually not new. But the camera uses extra points, rhythm relaxes extra points, music extra points, Keanu's depressed performance + variety suit show extra points. Although Keanu is not a genius in acting, he has been honing and forging ahead for thirty years, and the year of destiny has gradually begun to shine. Compared with the old idols of the same generation who depended on their roots for a living, it is really not a little bit higher.

The Whole Truth quotes

  • Ramsey: At some point, every defense lawyer has to choose between his own need to know the truth and the best interests of his client.

  • [first lines]

    Ramsey: [narrating] When the court officer smiled at me on the morning of trial, I knew I was fucked. They weren't taking bets on this one. Mike had killed his father, Boone Lassiter - left his handprint on the knife - confessed.

    Ramsey: Half my cases had evidence this bad. I just pled them out, got manslaughter and moved on. But this was Mike, and I'd known him all his life. He was going to college and probably law school, and I doubted his mother could survive him going to the penitentiary.

    Ramsey: But I knew Boone, I had that. And I knew enough about the Lassiter household to know that Mike had a defense - if he would just talk to me.
