Whenever you see a movie involving someone that states to be unfairly arrested and definitely innocent in the death row, you expect it to end up as the lawyer proving the client was indeed innocent and the whole American system of Justice is corrupt. However, "Just Cause" does practically the opposite, which makes this movie to be extremely surprising. You know, after seeing that Bobby's trial was solved in a matter of seconds, I kinda realized he was, in fact, the murderer, but that's what happens when you see a bunch of movies in your life-- you can predict almost everything. Another good point in this film is the way the suspense is built; in the first conversation between Armstrong and Sullivan, I almost had a heart attack when Sullivan yelled all of a sudden. Director proves, in that scene and in some others, he's capable of scare the spectator whenever he wants to. Furthermore, "Just Cause" is probably inspired in some others pictures of 1990's, such as "The Silence of the Lambs" and "Cape Fear"-- this one mainly in the river scene-, which doesn't mean it doesn't have an original story, because it surely does have. Also, the whole cast is professional, with big congratulations for Ed Harris, for portraying very good the character he's given. Great independent movie!
