While Al Pacino and Helen Mirren fully capture their roles in this 2013 film, I found the film lacking for several reasons. I think the film ended too abruptly. They should have gone on to show the mistrial and the second one which ultimately convicted Spector.
Pacino has the role down to a science as he always does. However, the writing had him rambling here and that would convince any jury of his guilt.
Did Mirren actually have pneumonia or was her illness more serious?
They should have also shown some scenes showing the victim Ms. Clarkson. Did she do herself in or did Spector really blow her away? This is a question that is left hanging.
Mirren seemed to be drawn to the role and by film's end has doubts whether or not Spector is guilty.
