Criminal Law
After a rising young attorney successfully defends a guy accused of murder, a similar type of murder occurs. The previously defended client immediately employs the attorney again, and despite the attorney's certainty that he is the killer, he agrees to defend him once more... much to the chagrin of his friends. However, he explains that by acting as his attorney, he will be better able to catch the killer if he makes a mistake... and from there, the rest of the film unfolds, with the killer and the attorney playing a cat and mouse game until, at long last, they both must recognize that they are not that dissimilar.
