Question of Privilege

A former attorney, now disgraced and struggling with alcoholism, is drawn back into the legal world when his former mentor asks him to defend a young woman accused of murdering her wealthy father. As he delves deeper into the case, he uncovers a web of deceit, corruption, and family secrets that threaten to consume him.

Question of Privilege received mixed reviews. While some critics praised its dark atmosphere and strong performances, particularly from Peter Coyote, others found the plot convoluted and predictable. The film struggled to find a wide audience and remains a lesser-known entry in the careers of its cast and director.

• Praiseworthy for its atmospheric tension and lead performance.

• Criticized for a predictable and somewhat muddled narrative.

• Considered a solid, albeit unremarkable, crime drama.

Google audience: Audience reviews are sparse, with some viewers appreciating the film's noir-like feel and the performances. However, many found the story to be unoriginal and lacking in significant impact.

This film marked one of David S. Goyer's earliest directorial efforts before he became widely known for his work on superhero films like 'The Dark Knight' trilogy and 'Blade'.
