A Killer is back on the streets. The only one who can
stop him is the lawyer who set him free.
Justice is simply a question of right or wrong, guilty or innocence... Or is it? For brilliant defence lawyer Ben Chase (Gary Oldman), justice is a question of winning or losing. To win a case isn't everything... It's the only thing. That is, until the day he is forced to realise that the client he's just won acquittal for was in truth guilty of rape and murder.
Through a series of grizzly clues, Martin Thiel (Kevin Bacon) allows his attorney to discover the horrible truth... Now, one acquittal and two murders later, Chase embarks on a personal campaign to bring Thiel to justice...a campaign in which he is confronted by his own dark side and the potential for violence within himself.
A gripping psychological thriller 'Criminal Law' serves as a chilling testament to the fine line that seperates civilsed behaviour from naked emotion.
