It is a finely detailed manners study of the superwealthy, a drama of conflicting principles and values and an engrossing legal detective story.

There is a high degree of sometimes shocking intelligence running through Reversal of Fortune.

Reversal of Fortune is an often chilly movie, but the chill cuts to the bone.

What happened? Who knows? The movie's strength is its ability to tantalize, to turn the case this way and that, so that the light of evidence falls in one way and then another. You tell me.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
