Before you click on the trailer below for Courtney Hunt’s courtroom thriller The Whole Truth be warned that it appears to steer you down a very spoilery path.
As with the recent trailer for The Girl on the Train there is a tendency to engage people with the promise of a twist-laden narrative, which runs the risk of revealing too much about the movie.
The movie in hand here is The Whole Truth, and we’re a long way from battling the devil…
Keanu Reeves leads the film along with Renée Zellweger who is trying to keep her son out of jail. Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Gabriel Basso complete the main cast.
Defense attorney Richard Ramsay (Keanu Reeves) takes on a personal case when he swears to his widowed friend, Loretta Lassiter (Renée Zellweger), that he will keep her son Mike (Gabriel Basso) out of prison.
Charged with murdering his father, Mike initially confesses to the crime. But as the trial proceeds, chilling evidence about the kind of man that Boone Lassiter (Jim Belushi) really was comes to light.
While Ramsay uses the evidence to get his client acquitted, his new colleague Janelle (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) tries to dig deeper – and begins to realize that the whole truth is something she alone can uncover.
