American psychologist John Holden arrives in London to participate in a symposium aiming to expose witchcraft and devil-worship as a fraud, with attention centered on a cult run by a Julian Karswell. Debarking his plane, Holden learns that the symposium leader, Henry Harrington, has suddenly died and he is now in charge. What only the audience knows is that Harrington was clearly killed by a demon, apparently summoned by Karswell to avenge his persecution. Despite both threatening and cajoling behavior by Karswell, Holden determines to proceed, though the only cult member willing to talk about his experiences is in a prison psychiatric ward, catatonic after allegedly killing yet another cult member. However, Harrington's niece, Joanna, believes, based on her uncle's notes, that Karswell may indeed have some satanic powers derived from an ancient tome in an obscure language which he has been able to translate, and attempts to warn the skeptic Holden. Karswell's mother also attempts to warn Holden off. However, the thing which begins to most get to Holden are the occasional, but mounting, sensory and mental disturbances he begins experiencing after an encounter with Karswell, and the discovery that, during this encounter, Karswell secretly slipped a slip of parchment with a curse in runic symbols on it into Holden's belongings, a parchment identical to one Harrington recorded having had passed to him in a similar manner shortly before his death... [N.B. Holden at no point stays at the Karswell estate].
少数几部开3倍速的电影，情节毫无悬念，人物转变生硬，编剧水平很稚嫩
-要是被控老爸凶残点
昨天晚上一边写证据目录一边看的，感慨就是关键得有钱才行，有钱能使磨推鬼。
Bug确实有些多，被现实架空了的新时代香港主旋律
剧情立意不错，但剧本表达太幼稚，里面的年轻演员演技太浮夸了，可惜了方中信等一帮老演员
把我骗进来结果是个这…？2星大烂片看到无语。 三星只因为是廖启智。
从一开始就是找他爸不香吗……看到有人评论 东邪西毒，秒啊
20220501，手机爱奇艺 挺讽刺的是片中努力追求的正义和公正是靠钱收买实现的。
方中信廖启智的表演还是很到位的。
故事简单，漏洞多。多两星都给廖叔，这样的演技，唉，看不到了
以为还不错的港片，看来实在是浪费。因为故事的背景就是富二代之间的恩怨情仇，如果死者只是个平民女孩呢，是不是更有看头？里面的证据也是来来回回，简直似法律为儿戏，不是很好的正面宣传片。
支持一波！
正义战胜邪恶，即使是制造出来的正义，也好过让坏人逍遥法外。
香港律政对决片。一起谋杀案被人隐瞒了真相，想让人顶罪，热心律师抽丝剥茧，最后将真凶绳之于法的故事
虽然情节简单，但还是能看得下去。
不是正义战胜了邪恶，而是资本战胜了资本。所谓的happy ending，让人心凉。
不少港星老戏骨。凶手接受采访时那帮记者群演太不专业了。一个警察转移证人太假了。开头时口口声声说法律是信仰不是生意的人，最后也要放弃，这也是为什么他连输12场的原因吧。结尾处的自白是唯一亮点“为下一代维持一个不论贫富、不论身份，在法律面前人人平等的社会”。这时廖启智的眼睛从侧面看是泛白的。
黑暗的黑，让人无法想象。是呀，当你的power越大，是弄权还是担起那份深深的职责。现实与理想的矛盾，无解。印象最深的是，方中信说，我一定要她在一个是非分明的社会里长大。
其实，这片子没有表达完整，但是，在最后方中信的陈词里，把本片引入高潮部分！起到了画龙点睛的作用！
剧情还是比较老套的，人物脸谱化严重，最后的反转有些太顺太生硬，瞬间坏人都叛变了，证据似乎逻辑上也不太严密。总结：神奇演员方中信，专演律师好犀利；黑帮手段太可气，好人被迫把头低；大壮破案耍手段，力挽狂澜得人心；虽说反转太生硬，证据有些没逻辑；好在坏人都落网，总算有个happy ending；港片近年不给力，勉强三星来鼓励。
