Not even the always dynamic Tom Wilkinson ... can save Felony from Edgerton's preachy screenplay and a performance that lacks personality and a clear point of view.
Starring a trio of top male actors in splendid roles, the intricate, intimate "Felony" is a police story crossed with a perceptive psychological drama.
It's an impressive piece of writing, keeping one hand on formula while the other searches for the truth of the moment, finding all sorts of unseemly and desperate behavior to dissect.
It reveals itself to be a profoundly cynical movie posing as a work of idealism, and it's all the more insidious because it's otherwise so bland and forgettable.
A deeply cynical movie masquerading as a complex moral dilemma, the Australian drama "Felony" proves only that skilled actors and slick photography can tart up even the most problematic script.
