John Romano screenwrote from Michael Connelly's novel (he also wrote the source material for Eastwood's Blood Work) about slick lawyer Matthew McConaughey who's double-crossed by his own client Ryan Philippe in entertaining yarn.
Film makes cardinal error of killing the dog - which could have then been adopted by said lawyer and estranged family, ex played by Marisa Tomei. Never kill the dog: it alienates the audience.
William H Macy, Bryan Cranston and Bob Gunton also feature.
Seemed slightly clichéd e.g. mad mother, safe but not safe ending, but there you go.
