The Sparring Partner

[Sylvio Constabel]

Based on actual events: in 2013, Henry Cheung collaborated with a friend to murder and dismember his parents. While the case may have looked simple on the surface, the truth proved to be increasingly difficult to untangle. As the defendants take on the distinct personas of the scheming genius and the naive, simple-minded victim of circumstances, the nine jury members must wrestle with their own conceptions of right and wrong as two men’s lives lay in the balance.

Echt, "Sparing"?

[Sylvio Constabel]

Gesehen. Überlanges Gerichtsdrama, bei dem der Doppelmord der Eltern von dem Häßlon aufm Thumbnail erörtert wird. In Ansätzen ist das durchaus spannend, jedoch gibt es so gut wie keine Überraschungen, was schon recht seltsam anmutet.
