Unfortunately, Primal Fear hasn't aged well; there are wrinkles and pockmarks all over its face.

Memorable for Edward Norton's chilling debut.

Helped greatly by excellent performances from both of the film's leads, as well as the rounded supporting cast.

Exhibits many of the genre's common weaknesses, but the fine acting of Edward Norton, Laura Linney and Richard Gere enables us to forgive them.

Works quite well as a mystery and as a courtroom drama.

...a solid drama that's elevated on an all-too-consistent basis by Norton's impressively hypnotic work.

Ed Norton is out of this world in his break-out performance.

The plot is engaging, the cast is exceptional, and Hoblit moves things along in commendably straightforward fashion. Very entertaining.

Edward Norton became an instant star after making a splashy, Oscar-nominated performance in this well-executed horror thriller.

As a forum for its actors and for the big-screen directorial debut of multi-Emmy winner Gregory Hoblit, the film is up to the job.

An unfolding mystery in which truth is elusive, and twists are the order of the day...gives Norton a career-making opportunity to strut his stuff. [Blu-ray]
