| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Primal Fear |
|---|
Richard Gere is a prominent, well respected defense lawyer defending an altar boy who is accused of murdering an archbishop. This is a big case, a headliner and Martin Vail (Gere) loves and thrives on the high profile cases. There is a strong case put forth on both sides especially by the prosecuting attorney (Linney) who is Vail's ex wife.
