In the near future, an overflowing court system dictates that all trials can only convene for 3 days – then a verdict must be reached. Phoenix Wright is a novice lawyer who takes on a difficult murder case against prosecutor Miles Edgeworth, who has a perfect win record. When Miles finds himself accused, it’s up to Phoenix to defend him against the most successful prosecutor ever.

Ace Attorney would one of the better if not best movies that has been adapted from a computer game that I have seen in a long time. You do not need to have had any previous knowledge of the game franchise to enjoy this one and if you did not know any better you would not even realize that this movie was based on a game franchise.
Takashi Miike did not just deliver the costumes that the fans of the franchise would expect combined with a thrilling legal drama.
I also loved Ryo Ishibashi’s performance as Manfred von Karma, especially in the final scene which had a similar impact on me as Jack Nicholson’s ‘you can’t handle the truth!’ speech in A Few Good Men.
