The entire movie is an extremely underwhelming story about a very meek court stenographer. Not really anything impressive, here is a list of SOME of the major problems, not extensive by any means. The writing seems like it was someone's first screenplay, especially the dialog, really stiff. The characters and relationships are a joke, not sure what Hirsch is going for with his portrayal. It appeared to me that several of the minor roles were played by people on their first acting job. After brain tumor surgery he still has all his hair and an ace bandage wrapped around his head twice, that's it? That is some soap opera level lameness. Every single drink in this movie is warm liquor in a glass. The oven revenge killing has a guy literally holding his own head down on the burner inside the oven, they couldn't even be bothered to make it look like he was restrained somehow. Walkden has a bunch of file boxes in his house labeled Guilty and Not Guilty that he just tosses his stenographer tapes into, what? They would be filed by case number, not just tossed in a box. This film is at the level of a high school project, don't waste your time.
