Manipulation and Second Chance in Life

She had an argument with a judge that sent her to the Breathalyzer test and the bar put her on probation in a small office.

But is she really not guilty?
Movies related to lawyers and court rooms are usually engaging and “The Trials of Cate McCall” is no exception, with a good story of manipulation and second chance in life with many twists. Once again Kate Beckinsale proves that is not only gorgeous, but also a great actress with a wonderful performance. The plot and characters are well developed and the plot point surprises. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): “Teia de Mentiras” (“Web of Lies”)
Intense Drama and court trial movie
Cate is an incredible fine lawyer with some serious problems with alcohol that is searching a way to recover the right to see her daughter. Since she was a fine lawyer before being alcoholic she accept a new case to defend an innocent girl that was wrongfully accused and in the process prove that she is fit to be a mother.That’s about the whole idea of the movie, but behind the seemingly obvious drama and court case movie there is a deep web of lies hence the title the movie gets in other countries.
For the most part, the movie plays Kate as Cate struggling to understand the rules of the system and her life and the movie plays for the majority of the time as a drama, but, there are some parts that plays with suspense and some later turnarounds.
The movie is not brilliant in the script department, you can actually guess the outcome of all, but being honest, it doesn’t pretend to play as a suspense movie either.
All the court case parts, the innocent girl, the threats and the lies are just secondary plot ideas to picture what is really important here and that’s the life of Cate.
This is a very fine movie in the drama department and one you should seriously consider if you’re into this genre. The acting of Miss Kate Beckinsale and Nick Nolte are one of the best moments through the movie and proves that Kate is a very good actress.
I love court case movies and this one didn’t disappoint and a movie about a flawed main protagonist path to redemption is always a topic i’m fond of.
