Take it out on the D.A. instead of the criminals who perpetrated the crime? Sure...

"Traumatized by the legal system" leaves a lot of room for possibilities. Doesn't neccesarily mean the criminals weren't punished. D.A.'s sometimes in their search for justice/glory trample innocent people along the way. I think it could be good, we'll see.

Well, if he did get convicted for the crime and he didn't do it; then that means nobody knows who did it so why would he? So, I understand why the D.A. might be the next possible target for him. Hell, the D.A. could have been involved we don't know enough about the story yet. Anyway, I've heard of people doing crazier stuff...I mean just watch some of the true crime shows out there (documentaries); sometimes I'm like if a fictional movie came like this no one would believe this crap. Like yesterday I was watching a show where a seventeen year old girl kidnapped a five year old and her and her boyfriend raped, choked, and drove a nail on a two by four through the girls heart killing her. Ten minutes later the cops came in looking (neighbors saw her get taken in) and almost didn't find her until one cop saw a foot stickng out of the trash can. Nowadays when I watch movies I think of crap like that and I don't find a lot of what people do farfetched anymore.

Hmm...sounds like The Dark Knight minus the bat.

Anyone who has ever dealt with a DA knows how they can be. Not to say they are all bad, because they are not, just like cops. I like the name of the movie alone. I think Kurt Wimmer needs a second chance after Ultra-Violet. I admit, I liked Ultra-Violet, it was uber-eye-candy, but the movie did kind of suck......and what may have seemed like fiction 20 years ago is now 7 o'clock evening news. I really hate what the news has become. Remember when they used to do the lighter side of the news? What the hell happened to that?
