LouHomey From my favorite movies..
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
raquelzepeda I have not seen a film this good in a very long time! Well and intelligently written: good plot, witty dialogue, and interesting characters. Even the ending was a bit surprising.I would describe this movie as a legal & psychological thriller. By the time it was almost over, I had imagined several suspects including the attorney's assistant as the accused's lover! Yeah that was a bit over the top. Anyway, I was very impressed with the film. The only set back is I believe the actors could have been more polished, except for Sachin. All in all, it was good to watch an entertaining film on an otherwise boring Monday.P.S. There is no nudity in this film. I don't know why that other reviewer called it a porn film?????
ctyler-854-411558 The Advocate is a terrific criminal mystery film produced on a limited budget and excels in both categories. This film was well paced, with continual twists and turns that keep you fully engaged. Sachin Meta agonizes throughout, yet at times is also cool and in charge and at other times determined and doomed in his search for Absolute Justice. Is Kristine Klebe a beautiful heroine or is she a murderer; her story plays with you, at times you are sympathetic and at other times you are suspicious or disbelieving. It is a fascinating journey. The Advocate was remarkably well produced given its limited budget; and hard to imagine how much more powerful it could have been as a full blown Hollywood-style production. I would see it again.
James "Doc" Mason Is Allyson Dougherty guilty or not? It's a simple question at the heart of The Advocate. But the bigger question is what will her attorney Ray Shekar do once he finds out the truth. And how far will he go to find the truth? The Advocate poses an interesting moral question: Can there be absolute justice? It answers it in a thrilling and thought provoking way.My rating of nine comes in the context of its budget. Having seen so many of these low budget thrillers over the years, this ambitious movie stands tall. Not only is the story compelling, it looks great, with an amazing score and incredible pacing. By no means is it perfect, but one can't really compare low budget films with big budget studio fare. A really interesting part of the story here is that these are first time filmmakers with limited resources. What they produced was amazing, and I can't wait to see what they do next.
Tammy Sequoia I enjoyed The Advocate. Both the femme fatale and the male lead actor delivered strong performances. And the supporting cast (particularly the detective) was fun to watch as well. I liked the pacing of the storyline, though I was hoping for a little more resolution at the end of the film. All in all a good movie that kept me engaged throughout.I'd recommend this film to anyone who appreciates Hitchcockian thrillers.
