Just Cause
Buried Deep In The Florida Everglades Is A Secret That Can Save An Innocent Man Or Let A Killer Kill Again.
Some thrillers make the mind race. Some keep the heart hammering. Sean Connery plays a Harvard Law professor who reopens a murder investigation based on an allegation that a confession was coerced by a maverick lawman. On the surface, it seems a straight-ahead case of the prisoner's guilt or innocence. But nothing really lies on the surface of this mystery climaxing in the Florida swamplands. Expect the unexpected.

Intense Murder Mystery - newdaysof
Sean Connery, Ed Harris, Laurence Fishburne, Kate Capshaw lead this all-star cast in an intense murder-mystery.
Beautifully shot in Florida, the action follows Sean Connery's character as he tries to save a man from the electric chair. Ed Harris delivers a simply electric and chilling performance as an extremely disturbed convicted murderer. A very young and very cute Scarlett Johannsen plays the daughter of Connery's character. I think this was one of her first film roles. She definitely shows talent at that very young age.
There are quite a few twists and turns and surprises throughout the film, and quite a few disturbing scenes and images. This is yet another film about a serial killer which Hollywood is so fond of making. Nevertheless, it is a gripping tale that will keep you glued to your seat right to the very end.!! - basilbenz
Always enjoy the great acting of Laurence Fishburne,(Sheriff Tanny Brown) who becomes very upset when a professor visits his town to investigate a sort of Cold Case. This professor is a retired lawyer named Paul Armstrong, (Sean Connery) who has reason to believe that a man on death row is innocent of rape and murder of a very pretty little white girl. Sheriff Tanny does not appreciate Paul Armstrong coming to his town in Florida and starting to open up a can of worms as Tanny is very certain he has arrested the correct man and even has a confession to prove he did this evil deed. The guilt person is Blair Underwood,(Bobby Earl) who is very happy to see Paul Armstrong come to his defense and possibly clear his name and secure his freedom. There are many twists and turns to this story and plenty of action and very creepy areas in the swamps of Florida. This film will keep you glued to your screens if you have not seen this film before.

Although Sean Connery can do no wrong in my eyes...I think he should have avoided making this one. It was blazé at best with a predictable script, predictable ending, and even predictable scenes! There wasn't a twist or a bend that you couldn't figure out ahead of time....not a very good suspense thriller when there is no suspense...sort of just rolled my eyes everytime something I thought would happen..happened. The only treat in this movie is a very young Scarlett Johansson :o)
