Review of Puncture

Puncture (2011)
7/10
David vs. Goliath legal drama
22 January 2016
I admit the true story behind "Puncture" is compelling. However, there's not much here that raises this film above any other typical courtroom drama. The acting is fine and the writing is OK, but movie is not intellectually stimulating. It's just an admirable film about a maddening character and a hugely unjust medical system that leaves its own puncture wounds. There's even something of a surprise ending, but again it doesn't elevate to authentic plateau of significance. Film lacks more depth, but it moves and produces a nicely alluring. Those with a taste for these kind of flicks or fans of Evans (Brett Cullen also was wonderful as palpably oily corporate lawyer on the other side of legal case) will enjoy this one, others ..who knows.

Rating: 7-/6+ ('cos I like these kind of flicks)
