Keanu Reeves seeks justice in the trailer for The Whole Truth

Last Updated on July 31, 2021

Defense attorney Richard Ramsay (Keanu Reeves) takes on a personal case when he swears to his widowed friend, Loretta Lassiter (Renée Zellweger), that he will keep her son Mike (Gabriel Basso) out of prison. Charged with murdering his father, Mike initially confesses to the crime. But as the trial proceeds, chilling evidence about the kind of man that Boone Lassiter (Jim Belushi) really was comes to light. While Ramsay uses the evidence to get his client acquitted, his new colleague Janelle (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) tries to dig deeper – and begins to realize that the whole truth is something she alone can uncover.

While it's hardly JOHN WICK: CHAPTER TWO, I'm a sucker for these courtroom dramas and all the twists and turns that come with it. This isn't the first time Keanu Reeves has taken up law practice, so I'm sure he's more than comfortable spouting some legal jargon to the members of the court. This is the kind of movie that would probably work best at home, so we'll see how it fares when it hits theaters in one months' time.

THE WHOLE TRUTH opens in theaters on October 21, 2016.
