Phoenix Wright, a novice lawyer, is up against expert prosecutor Miles Edgeworth, who had a perfect win record. The court system of the time dictates that the trial can only convene for a total of three days before a verdict must be reached. Not before long, Miles is charged with murder, and it is up to Phoenix to defend him against the best prosecutor of all time, as well as Miles' mentor, Manfred Von Karma, who has not lost a case in forty years.
Court rooms aren't exactly the most exciting places you could think of. Unless Phoenix Wright serves as the defense attorney. Ace Attorney (a.k.a. Gyakuten Saiban) is a court room drama/detective story on steroids and follows you through a number of different cases. The scene with the parrot was fantastic and just hilariously unbelievable.
Based on a massively popular video game and directed by acclaimed director Takashi Miike (Audition), Ace Attorney is a crazy fantasy version of the Japanese legal system. It's as if superheroes got stuck in court because these lawyers aren't exactly your typical defenders and prosecutors. A superb adaption where everything looks just like it should.
Genre: Comedy/Crime/Drama
