An arrogant, high-powered attorney (Richard Gere) takes on the case of a poor altar boy(Edward Norton) found running away from the scene of the grisly murder of the bishop who has taken him in. The case gets a lot more complex when the accused reveals that there may or may not have been a "third person" in the room during the murder. The intensity builds when a surprise twist alters everyone's perception of the crime and what really happened...
Even if you don't like Court room dramas, i still highly recommend you to watch Primal Fear because it has an awesome cast, Norton in particular shines in this movie in his first big screen role and the twist ending is just plain awesome, definitely in the same caliber as The usual Suspects, Fight club etc...
Watch it and be prepared to be surprised.
4.5/5
