Guilty as Sin (15)

Plot
Successfully keeping her attractive murderous client out of jail, a beautiful lawyer finds herself the victim of a smear campaign after her newly released client spreads rumours that they had an affair. The situation becomes so bad she begins to find evidence for his crime so she can send him back to jail.

Verdict
After Joe Esztherhas's successful Jagged Edge, Sidney Lumet jumped on the bandwagon and made his own supposedly sexy courtoom thriller. Although sadly he didn't pick his material very well and consequently we're left with the mess that is Guilty as Sin.
