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].
有钱有办法，没钱基本法。太过理想主义的洗脑片，现实中，廖启智的代表的资本阶层怎么可能因为女儿的去世和权贵阶层决裂的。
不明白，最后的反转还是拿钱摆平的。可是如果证人突然转做污点证人，他的证词难道不要调查研究就可以被法庭采用吗？
低分原因估计是因为还是要靠富豪弄倒富豪，我感觉还可以这片。牵强的地方稍微多了点哈。
其实节奏还是不错的，只不过大团圆结局的是建立在死者也是富家女，并且爹肯为了她不惜一切代价，不然主角再努力，结局走向也不可能是抓到真凶
律师是要争取当事人的最大利益，还是尊重当事人意愿。
简单说是两集<律政强人>港剧，但智斗感，演技力道全无，走个标准程序。
从上帝视角，救了一个混混，损失了一个女记者。[律师查案]，对抗黑暗势力。结尾还是郭老板买通黑警督查才赢的。也就是有钱有势力，有知识技术，加起来才赢的。
失去一切的父亲谁都控不住呀！ 对有钱有势的杀人犯敲诈勒索，纯自找领盒饭呀！ 普通人泡妞有风险呀，哈哈哈哈！ 还好受害者也是富二代！ 标准港剧！
以为是电影版律政强人 ，还是差了一丢丢。演员阵容是唯一的看点。这样的钱权合作真是讽刺。
表演方面无可挑剔，片子节奏也很紧凑，不过对最后的主题升华存疑，所谓法律面前人人平等的社会，感觉好像是最后正义战胜了权势，但实际上没有廖启智背后发力，收买黑警作证，这个案子是不可能反转的，而且方中信获取DNA的方式也太粗糙，不但有可能碰不上凶手刚好喝咖啡，而且方中信自己的指纹不也在咖啡杯上么？作为一个普通人，真要遇到顶罪的事情，首先遇不到这么坚持正义的律师，其次还要凶手不毁掉死者的手机电脑，普通人完全没可能战胜有钱人的，故而片子宣扬的法律面前人人平等根本站不住脚，影片后半段只是李毅峰在看守所中的幻想罢了。
影片二星，加一星鼓励。港片的辉煌，就如同廖启智的生命一样，一去不复返了。
剧情还是比较老套的，人物脸谱化严重，最后的反转有些太顺太生硬，瞬间坏人都叛变了，证据似乎逻辑上也不太严密。总结：神奇演员方中信，专演律师好犀利；黑帮手段太可气，好人被迫把头低；大壮破案耍手段，力挽狂澜得人心；虽说反转太生硬，证据有些没逻辑；好在坏人都落网，总算有个happy ending；港片近年不给力，勉强三星来鼓励。
弘扬一下主旋律罢了 这个世界永远没有公平 抱歉 有钱有权就是可以只手遮天 如果不能 只是钱权还不够到位
2021.11.13观于北市。很久没看到那么多TVB聚在一起了，智叔人狠话不多，台词不用多。
杀人的那幕戏也太水了，最后法庭的戏也很拉胯。
过于粗糙的剧情，这么长时间、这么些老戏骨，时间都花哪里了？一星给智叔吧。
在本片中出现的黄金配角廖启智和曾江都已经去世了。
想表达的东西是深沉的，但是戏剧结构的张力稍有不足。但依旧是港片的熟悉配方，舒服。
演员这块，除了鲍起静、廖启智之外，曾江的气势也完全压制了方中信等人。
故事套路，转折过于轻易，雷律师的小惊喜是为数不多的亮点。
