American psychologist John Holden arrives in London to participate in a symposium aiming to expose witchcraft and devil-worship as a fraud, with attention centered on a cult run by a Julian Karswell. Debarking his plane, Holden learns that the symposium leader, Henry Harrington, has suddenly died and he is now in charge. What only the audience knows is that Harrington was clearly killed by a demon, apparently summoned by Karswell to avenge his persecution. Despite both threatening and cajoling behavior by Karswell, Holden determines to proceed, though the only cult member willing to talk about his experiences is in a prison psychiatric ward, catatonic after allegedly killing yet another cult member. However, Harrington's niece, Joanna, believes, based on her uncle's notes, that Karswell may indeed have some satanic powers derived from an ancient tome in an obscure language which he has been able to translate, and attempts to warn the skeptic Holden. Karswell's mother also attempts to warn Holden off. However, the thing which begins to most get to Holden are the occasional, but mounting, sensory and mental disturbances he begins experiencing after an encounter with Karswell, and the discovery that, during this encounter, Karswell secretly slipped a slip of parchment with a curse in runic symbols on it into Holden's belongings, a parchment identical to one Harrington recorded having had passed to him in a similar manner shortly before his death... [N.B. Holden at no point stays at the Karswell estate].
看老戏骨演戏太爽了，但是剧情的每一次反转，我怎么都觉得突然又平庸呢…
剧本弱剪辑也莫名其妙，每个人都是突然就醒悟了突然就放弃了，白瞎了这么好的阵容，最后的独白也太突兀了吧，写作文都不这样写了
所以最后赢得公理是因为有钱…看到一群老面孔真好…
作为律政剧，它把律师们当了空气；作为刑侦剧，它把警察们当了空气；作为主旋律剧，它把观众当了空气。三星给还在坚守香港电影的老戏骨。
哪里会有绝对的正义，最后一段陈词，就当是理想主义的自白。朋友多了路好走。
香港律政对决片。一起谋杀案被人隐瞒了真相，想让人顶罪，热心律师抽丝剥茧，最后将真凶绳之于法的故事
剧中有句台词，大概是：“对有的人来说法律是一门生意，但对有的人来说法律是一种信仰”。毕业快20年，已经说不出法律还是不是我的信仰。
如果死者是个普通人家的女孩儿，故事就该是另一个走向了吧。
中规中矩的剧情，还好有几个香港老演员撑场，整体感觉还可以。追求和捍卫正义公理需要的不仅仅是信念和智慧，还要有金钱和权力的支持。贴近现实，引人深思。
演技演技不在线 剧情牵强 用力过猛 看的原因是youtube免费……
完全支撑不起他站出来作证的原因
智叔走好，片子就一TVB律政剧加长版的感觉。
每一个演员都好喜欢！加上两颗星为了这一帮演技超神的香港演员
不算太爽，也算可以。
剧情是有漏洞，结尾所传递的正能量或许对于现实社会很假，不过我也有孩子，也怕她长大以后面对一个没有公义的世界，因此也希望能有些微改变。
太过理想的反博一击，顺利制服富家子，匡扶正义。
少年时期的偶像方中信的剧都会看，现在还是好帅哦！正义永远不会缺席！
一开始以为是模仿《辩护人》，后来觉得差的太远了
5分 很套路 前面铺垫那么多 反转的也太容易了 又是一部看开头猜得到结局系列 只可惜在现实世界里是不会这么理想的 都是权力只手遮天
精心设置了暗线的双重镜像，本以为会走向《大卫戈尔》的殉道路，却用难以服众的皆大欢喜草草收场。最后为了过审自说自话拔高说教，却忘了理想主义尾声的达成仍然依靠资本对抗。仿佛是故意减弱悬疑性，把重心放在现实性，然而又陷入主流和黑色都浅尝辄止的尴尬，只达成了十分浅薄的映射，挺可惜的。
