Day 73 and I watched Just Cause. Just Cause is about a black man accused of raping and murdering a little white girl in a small bayou town in Florida. He denies he's done anything and soon he's in jail after the police beat a confession out of him. Fast forward 8 years (I think) and he's still doing hard time but he sends his mom to go find a professor played by Sear Connery. Sean is a professor teaching about justice and things like that so he seems like a perfect fit to get this innocent man off of death row. Laurence Fishburne plays one of the bad cops who beat the confession out of the guy and there's another small surprise in the movie. Scarlet Johansson plays Sean's daughter and she's super young in this movie. The movie plays out at quite a pace, there's always something new in every scene, another knot presented in the twisted tale. It's easy to hate the bad guys and it's easy to root for Sean Connery as he does some detective work. Everything's done pretty well and it's not hard to follow at all. A good sleuthing movie for anyone who enjoys things like this.
3.9 I really can't think of anything out of 5
