Amazon.co.uk Review

Just Cause is a film that relies on phony plot twists and steals openly from any other thriller that it can remember. If there was a drinking game requiring players to drink during every cinematic "homage", you'd be tanked after its first 45 minutes. Take one case of racial injustice, place it in an exotic, exquisitely photographed location (the Florida Everglades), and bring in an outsider, played by a bankable star, to save the day. Make sure nothing appears as it seems. Add a couple of plot twists, some over-the-top character actors (Ed Harris, shamelessly riffing on Hannibal Lecter), stir, and serve. The big name in this case is Sean Connery, who plays a Harvard law professor summoned to the swamps by an apparently innocent death row inmate (Blair Underwood), who swears he didn't rape and kill that 11-year-old girl. He says he confessed because maverick psycho-cop Tanny Brown (Laurence Fishburne) made him play a solo game of Russian roulette. He says his Serial-killer neighbour on death row (Harris) committed the crime. Connery buys it, the audience buys it, and how could they not? Director Arne Glimcher (who made the lacklustre Mambo Kings) coerces everyone with simplistic plot manipulations. Characters are given no depth, and the actors are pawns moved about like pieces on a Cluedo gameboard. -- Dave McCoy, Amazon.com

1.0 out of 5 stars Best avoided, 14 Jan 2003

By	Peter (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

I'm afraid - for I'm a fan of Sean Connery - that this film is disappointingly shallow. There's very little character development, and I certainly found I cared very little what happened to Mr Connery's character, or any of the rest. There is an unpleasant execution scene, which seemed gratuitous, and there appears to be some sort of political agenda poking through.

The plot is clumsy, with lots of "unexpected" twists. When everything is set up for a happy ending and all the loose ends tied up, but only 45 minutes into the film, it's not difficult to predict a major upset on the way.

The film manages to project some of the run-down, seedy ordinariness of small-town Florida, but that's not much of a consolation.

And there are no extras worth mentioning on the DVD. Avoid.

2.0 out of 5 stars Another lost cause for Connery, 28 Jan 2008

By	Trevor Willsmer (London, England) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

Just Cause is one of those films that at first makes you wonder quite why it was so heavily slated when it came out - nothing special but competent enough and with an excellent supporting performance from Ed Harris. Then you hit the last third and everything starts to get increasingly silly until you've got a killer with a flashlight strapped to his forehead threatening to fillet Sean Connery's wife (a typically mannered and unconvincing Kate Capshaw) and kid (a very young Scarlet Johannsen) in an alligator skinner's shack. The kind of movie that's probably best seen on a plane, and even then only once.
