The Advocate: A Missing Body (2015)

The movie starts off with an excessively flashy and showy introduction into the personality of the lead, but moving forward there is some good character development. Characterizations were decent, although some were a tad one dimensional, and the lead at times being a glorified douchebag.

Anyhow, the casting was a mixed experience as some of them fitted the character perfectly while some were just unnatural and forced into the role, and of those the most unnatural was the female prosecutor. They clearly needed a maturer actress, I have no clue why they went with her instead, perhaps her feisty acting style but even then I can think of a number of actresses that could've pulled it off.

Basically the concept follows scumbag lawyer develops a conscience and tries to do the right thing. The concept itself isn't bad but the script could've made the character development a lot smoother and gradual instead of the forceful way it happened.

Cinematography was good, but perhaps too many camera angles at times, but that just means some scenes took multiple shots and they patched it together.
