Primal Fear (1996)
(MAJOR SPOILERS) Edward Norton is excellent in this courtroom drama/psychological thriller. However, I was extremely disappointed by the ending. I'm always on the look for movies that tell the truth about multiple personalities, and this appeared to be, for the most part, accurate. And then they decide to make it all fake? There's something unfair about that. It was a very good courtroom drama up until that point, when they decided they needed a sudden twist ending to be... what? Interesting? Shocking? Daring? I have no idea. But only Edward Norton's acting made that scene interesting to watch, otherwise I would have been rolling my eyes in disgust. Not a smart direction to take the story. 3 stars.
