Watch  movies Beyond a reasonable doubt online.

‘Beyond a Reasonable Doubt’ is a remake of 1956 film noir (and they really knew how to make them back then), casting looked good, plot seemed very interesting and there was plenty of reason for me to watch this movie. First thing i realized when i started watching is that the production is kind of poor, when you watch this movie you get the feeling that you’re watching some B-movie. And the only case in which B-movie can be good and considered a classic is when its original and strange, and you can figure out that this one isn’t, because as i said it’s a remake of then totally ordinary and often film noir. The cast looked good to me at first, main star of course is Michael Douglas, but the acting in this movie was surprisingly poor to me, considering the script they were given these actors should’ve been a lot more convincing than they were. Jesse Metcalfe, pretty-boy known from several TV series (including soap operas…) just didn’t seem cut out for his role ever since the first scene he was in. Other than poor acting, the script that was taken from 53 year old movie is basically interesting and effective, but it was poorly executed and some events were really forced which is never good in these kind of dramas that are most effective when they are slow-paced. I still wouldn’t blame the main failure on actors, in my opinion Peter Hyams, the director and the (re)writer of the screenplay did a very sloppy job and denied something better to happen with this movie.

Still, ‘Beyond a Reasonable Doubt’ being what it is, it’s still good, very watchable and somewhat suspenseful, although i would call this movie a fairly big letdown, because i simply hoped for something much better. If you are craving for these kind of investigative dramas, then i suggest you better watch ‘State of Play’ or ‘Nothing But the Truth’, these movies are much better in terms of acting and production and unlike ‘Beyond a Reasonable Doubt’ they are somewhat thought-provoking, while after watching this movie you will simply forget it in the next five minutes.
