Ace Attorney
Recommended Videos
Capcom’s courtroom visual novel series Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney has a small but devoted fanbase, and its precisely this fanbase that the 2012 live-action movie adaptation aimed to please with its cartoonish melodrama.
Just like the games, the film is set in a near-future Japan where high crime has led to an overhaul of the justice system, resulting in three day long speed trials. Phoenix Wright is our well dressed, spikey-haired star, and must battle his arch rival and former classmate in the courtroom to defend a girl falsely accused of murder.
The film mixes the surreal with the everyday, featuring flying hologram screens in court, zany sound effects whenever some key evidence is dropped, and many, many objections.
