Amazing Christmas movie with a powerful message and 21% on rotten tomatoes

Kind of surprised no one's suggested this gem yet (I checked, sorry if I missed it). Kevin Spacey gets accused of rape/murder and Kate Winslet ("Bitsy"?) has to prove his innocence before he's executed. 19% on Rotten Tomatoes, convoluted plot, and a "twist" ending that makes 0 sense. And I just googled it and it turns out that this movie was co-produced by Nicolas Cage who commissioned the script and was even originally set to star in it (why didn't this happen??)

please!

i like everyone that was involved in the movie actually. but that's what i heard too. that they weren't happy with the final product and the studio ruined it.

yes!! (I was going to suggest this too)

**spoilers!**Yeah exactly, Spacey's a good actor but it just couldn't save this bullshit. I feel like the film derailed its own argument, it just made the activists look like nut jobs. The fact that it took itself so seriously was what made it unintentionally funny to me, the spinning camera angles with the signs that said random dramatic words like "lust" "desire", and Kate Winslet's 12-hour sprint to the courthouse. I also liked when she put the plastic bag over her own head and almost asphyxiated herself to prove that that was how the woman died- amazing detective work.
