Defenseless

Martin Campbell (Criminal Law) directs a watchable but instantly forgettable mystery thriller, written by James Hicks and Jeff Burkhart, about a successful lawyer (Barbara Hershey) who discovers that her client and lover (J.T. Walsh) is married to a former friend (Mary Beth Hurt), shortly before he is mysteriously murdered. Sam Shepard does his usual poker-faced bit as the police detective assigned to catch the killer, and Sheree North turns up in a smaller part. (JR)
