[while in a holding cell in the back of the courthouse]
Roy: Mr. Vail?
Martin Vail: Yeah?
Roy: [stammering] Will you t-tell Miss Venable I'm sorry? Tell her I hope her neck is okay.
Martin Vail: Yeah… I will.
[begins walking away, then turns back]
Martin Vail: Wait… What did you just say? What? You told me just a few minutes ago that you didn't remember. You blacked out. You "lost time" yet again. So, how do you know about her neck?
Roy: [slow clapping sardonically; sneers] Well… good for you, Marty. I was going to let it go at that. You was looking so happy just now. I was thinking, hmmm God. But to tell you the truth, I'm glad you figured it out, because I have been dying to tell you. I just didn't know who you'd wanna hear it from, you know? Aaron or Roy… or Roy or Aaron. Well, I'll let you in on a little secret. A sort of a client-attorney-privilege type of a secret, you know what I mean? It don't matter who you hear it from. It's the same story.
[stammering as Aaron]
Roy: [in a southern accent] I j-j-just… had to kill Linda, Mr. Vail.
[normal voice as Roy]
Roy: That cunt just got what she deserved. But… cutting up that son of a bitch Rushman? That was just a fucking work of art.
Martin Vail: You're good. You are really good.
Roy: Yeah. I did get caught, though, didn't I?
Martin Vail: So there never… there never was a Roy?
Roy: Jesus Christ, Marty. If that's what you think, I am disappointed in you, I don't mind telling you. There never was an Aaron… counselor! Come on, Marty! I thought you had it figured, there at the end. The way you put me on the stand like that? That was fucking brilliant, Marty! And that whole thing like "act-like-a-man"? Jesus, I knew exactly what you wanted from me. It was like we were dancing, Marty!
Martin Vail: Guard!
Roy: [as Vail walks away] Oh come on, don't be like that, Marty. We did it, man. We fucking did it! We're a great team, you and me. You think I could've done this without you? You're just feeling a little angry here, because you started to care about old Aaron, I can understand that, but… you know, love hurts, Marty. What can I say? Hey, I'm just kidding, bud! I didn't mean to hurt your feelings! What else was I supposed to do? Hey, you're gonna thank me down the road, because this is gonna toughen you right up, Martin Vail! You hear me? That's a promise!

Primal Fear är en spännande thriller regisserad av G och följer berättelsen om en ärolysten advokat och hans bittra åklagar-ex. Deras vägar korsas i rätten när de tillsammans tar sig an ett uppmärksammat mordåtal mot en ung och oskyldig altarpojke.

Richard Gere spelar huvudrollen som den självsäkra och karismatiska advokaten som är fast besluten att vinna fallet till varje pris. Laura Linney spelar åklagaren, som är fast besluten att få rättvisa och ser detta fall som en möjlighet att både bevisa sin kompetens och hämnas på sin före detta partner.

En av filmens största styrkor är Edward Nortons skådespelarinsats som den anklagade altarpojken. Norton levererar en minnesvärd prestation som skiftar mellan oskuldsfullhet och mörka hemligheter, vilket håller tittarna på helspänn och i ovisshet om hans skuld eller oskuld.

Primal Fear är en film fylld med rafflande twistar och spännande scener som håller tittarna på helspänn. Den utforskar teman som makt, rättvisa och mänsklig natur, samtidigt som den erbjuder en gripande historia som håller en fast i klorna hela vägen till den överraskande slutet.

Med en skicklig regi och en stark ensemble av skådespelare skapar Primal Fear en intensiv och oförglömlig upplevelse för tittarna. Det är en film som definitivt är värd att se för alla som älskar spänning och överraskningar inom rättssalens dramatik.
