The film follows a defense attorney (Keanu Reeves) as he fights tooth and nail to get a teenage boy acquitted of murdering his own father. He enlists the help of a young lawyer who is determined to find out the truth about what happened that day.
Keanu Reeves effectively anchors The Whole Truth, but a capable cast can only do so much to keep the lingering mystery afloat before logic weighs it down.
The film's bleached colors and Reeves' trademark woodenness add to its emotional remoteness, though Basso, Zellweger and Belushi create a convincing family in crisis.
Some interesting work (particularly from Renee Zellweger and James Belushi) is marred by some lazy narrative devices, specifically the constant voice-over narration.
Trundling along on the drone of Ramsay's pseudo-hardboiled voice-over, "The Whole Truth" plays like an especially claustrophobic courtroom procedural, drably photographed and generically framed.
The film's closing minutes offer some parting pieces of information that upend some previously laid assumptions, but it's a grafted-on coda rather than a well-choreographed gut punch.
