Story is good, although we all know the outcome, but as courtcase dramas go this really was lame and pedestrian.
They tried to portray the 90's but overdid it. The scenes, plot line and acting was reminiscent of a 1980s " Columbo" or "Murder she wrote" court case , it even had two of the old actors from those old favourites. :( Nathan Lane and Bruce Greenwood).
Cuba gooding Jr. looks nothing like OJ Simpson and was a total miscast. John travolta plays a fantastically mesmerising role as Shapiro , if somewhat overly comical. The actress playing the prosecuting attorney is just cringeworthy & as annoying as her perm. ! Not even sure if the backstory on her was true or made up but I didn't really care about her.
Its good entertainment and worth a watch but they really could have done so much better. (It's not a patch on their other production: "the killing of Gianni Versace". Which is on a whole other level.
