Dershowitz (Ron Silver) is hired by Claus von Bulow (Jeremy Irons) to defend him against charges that he attempted to murder his wife, Sunny (Glenn Close), who lies in a coma. As Dershowitz, aided by his eager law students, scrambles for ways to puncture the veracity of the charges against von Bulow, Sunny narrates flashback scenes that offer a frosted window into both the events leading up to her coma-inducing collapse and the strangely cold and alienating world of the super rich. (official distributor synopsis)

The movie "Luck Turn" isn't as interesting for the case it presents, even though the case itself is not that typical, but mainly for the perspective it brings on legal work and how facts are determined, what it actually means when you defend someone, whom you may not even believe yourself. And then there's the incredibly captivating Jeremy Irons, whom you can hate as well as admire.
