American psychologist John Holden arrives in London to participate in a symposium aiming to expose witchcraft and devil-worship as a fraud, with attention centered on a cult run by a Julian Karswell. Debarking his plane, Holden learns that the symposium leader, Henry Harrington, has suddenly died and he is now in charge. What only the audience knows is that Harrington was clearly killed by a demon, apparently summoned by Karswell to avenge his persecution. Despite both threatening and cajoling behavior by Karswell, Holden determines to proceed, though the only cult member willing to talk about his experiences is in a prison psychiatric ward, catatonic after allegedly killing yet another cult member. However, Harrington's niece, Joanna, believes, based on her uncle's notes, that Karswell may indeed have some satanic powers derived from an ancient tome in an obscure language which he has been able to translate, and attempts to warn the skeptic Holden. Karswell's mother also attempts to warn Holden off. However, the thing which begins to most get to Holden are the occasional, but mounting, sensory and mental disturbances he begins experiencing after an encounter with Karswell, and the discovery that, during this encounter, Karswell secretly slipped a slip of parchment with a curse in runic symbols on it into Holden's belongings, a parchment identical to one Harrington recorded having had passed to him in a similar manner shortly before his death... [N.B. Holden at no point stays at the Karswell estate].
整体还算不错的故事，至少几个名演员的演技都很到位。方中信，曾江，廖启智都很牛！法庭戏不行。香港不讲证据只讲证词了吗？都什么鬼。搜证全是证人证词，证据拉锯推拉全都没有。剧本还是不过关啊。推倒高墙靠的是内部返水，有权和有钱的矛盾激化闹掰……精英阶层伪造证据伸张正义被处罚……底层平民只能被动拯救……哎，太丢人了
挺有戏的故事底子，命案、党棍、黑警、强权……拍得实在是波澜不惊，太过顺当。
很无聊的剧情，没什么高明的技巧，倒是一干人等义正言辞但又故弄玄虚的表现极具讽刺之能事，真是醉用之意不在酒也，😎
怪闷的，有点尬。剧本其实还可以，但转折点和线索处理得非常低级。老辣律师利用程序漏洞帮当事人争取权益的点本来应该是闪光点，但也没把握好。
还能一看的粤语电影，前半剧情铺垫是不错的，可惜尾端转折过于理想，编上复杂的情节却只有简陋的细节。
不明白评分为什么这么低。有时候看电影并不是要看什么大场景。静静的看一个理想故事不好吗？
只有有钱人才能对抗有钱人，穷人，看什么电影，挣钱去aq
中规中矩的剧情，还好有几个香港老演员撑场，整体感觉还可以。追求和捍卫正义公理需要的不仅仅是信念和智慧，还要有金钱和权力的支持。贴近现实，引人深思。
故事本身没什么新意，人物的转变有点太突然，雷律师布的那个局也不算是多么巧妙，全片甚至也没在强调人性，而是在说在这样的社会里，善如何通过力量和手段去胜出
现在的港片大部分都是这样，就很多是工工整整，不功不过，能将就看但又不是很好的，批量生产的网大，这部就是其中所说，阵容还可以，演员在线就能很大程度弥补本身薄弱的剧情，廖启智的表演一如既往的点睛，不管是出场多长时间依然是亮点，RIP
还蛮讨厌这种解决方式（骗人才能达到的司法公正）。
昨天晚上一边写证据目录一边看的，感慨就是关键得有钱才行，有钱能使磨推鬼。
非常不真实，导演和编剧水平很一般，一部好剧拍的稀烂。
剧情还算紧凑，但制作一般，演员表现良莠不齐，整体中规中矩。这将会不会是第一部先上网络后上院线的院线片？！2.5星。。。
上次看到章子怡说，成为妈妈后会很怕死，因为总是担心孩子。
游艇上的对手戏抢眼有张力。有钱有势才能互相制衡，这不过是一场政治与经济的博弈。

平平淡淡的剧，看开头猜结尾系列。常规港片套路，各位演员演技在线，传播正义传播正能量人人有责
廖启智和曾江相继离开……
智叔遗作，一看到主角阵容就容易想起之前tvb经典的律政剧《律政强人》。东方李察基尔方中信确实很适合演律师，睿智的眼神，正气的形象很贴合。我看的粤语版，也算原汁原味吧，看国语配音版就比较吃亏，会嫌弃。谭耀文这次不再演坏人了，而一路向西的男主咋看都是坏！整体剧情还是有点不足，结局那一番正义凛然的发言应该就是能过审的原因吧，正能量满满呢！
