District Attorney Mark Hunter (Michael Douglas) has a winning track record and a shot at Governor, but does he sometimes tamper with evidence to get his convictions? When an ambitious rookie journalist starts poking around, Beyond a Reasonable Doubt roars into formulaic action. Rolling Stone's Peter Travers wonders, "What happens next? If you can’t figure that out you’ve never seen a movie. What I can’t figure out is how director Peter Hyams can remake a 1956 movie from the great Fritz Lang and not learn anything about suspense, pacing and storytelling in the process. This movie is beyond boring. You could stay warm for two hours by striking a match to the wooden acting."

Just a note to Jen and the editors: I really like what you've done with these Friday movie postings. The click-through photo/caption format is awesome.
But this is a Gothamist post, so I guess I have to say something nasty as well. So, err, I can't stand people who take their pugs on the subway. They just really get my goat. Grrr.
White on Rice doesn't appear to be playing anywhere near NYC though. At least not according to Google.
