Haunted by the memory of Walter Holderlin, a soldier he killed during World War I, French musician Paul Renard (Phillips Holmes) confesses to a priest (Frank Sheridan), who grants him absolution. Using the address on a letter he found on the dead man's body, Paul then travels to Germany to find his family.
As anti-French sentiment continues to permeate Germany, Dr. Holderlin (Lionel Barrymore) initially refuses to welcome Paul into his home, but changes his mind when his son's fiancée Elsa identifies him as the man who has been leaving flowers on Walter's grave. Rather than reveal the real connection between them, Paul tells the Holderlin family he was a friend of their son, who attended the same musical conservatory he did.
Although the hostile townspeople and local gossips disapprove, the Holderlins befriend Paul, who finds himself falling in love with Elsa (Nancy Carroll). When she shows Paul her former fiancé's bedroom, he becomes distraught and tells her the truth. She convinces him not to confess to Walter's parents, who have embraced him as their second son, and Paul agrees to forego easing his conscience and stays with his adopted family. Dr. Holderlin presents Walter's violin to Paul, who plays it while Elsa accompanies him on the piano.
The film's original title, The Man I Killed, was changed to The Fifth Commandment to avoid giving "wrong impressions in the minds of the public about the character of the story." It ultimately was released as Broken Lullaby.
结局方中信大哥的发言实在是太官方了。前面都还ok，但是很多细节都缺失，看着不够过瘾。
政商勾结的普通故事，方大状诛心阴招让其反目。#陈家乐也老了
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
廖叔演技没得说 特别第一次出庭那个眼神 有被凶到了 看这部剧才知道这是廖叔最后一部 唉
方中信仍然是帅呀*_*。这故事说明只有资本说了算，其它都白费。
方中信谭耀文廖叔鲍姐曾江陈保元个个好戏 // “我地系辩护律师，唔系福尔摩斯”
勉强及格。毕竟有这么一帮好香港演员，毕竟是廖启智的遗作。
剧情本身的悬疑色彩较弱，对于如今的观众来说，30分钟内猜到凶手毫无难度。但是本片当然也不会是将重点放在这里，而是从无数庭辩剧就一直讨论的话题，“法律到底是不是在维护正义？”律师是要维护公平和正义，还是要为当事人争取最大权益？”这个话题我早已有答案，也许每个人都有答案。
剧情简单，人物脸谱化，一丝悬念都没有。只有看看香港演员说粤语，是唯一的安慰。
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。
智叔遗作，一看到主角阵容就容易想起之前tvb经典的律政剧《律政强人》。东方李察基尔方中信确实很适合演律师，睿智的眼神，正气的形象很贴合。我看的粤语版，也算原汁原味吧，看国语配音版就比较吃亏，会嫌弃。谭耀文这次不再演坏人了，而一路向西的男主咋看都是坏！整体剧情还是有点不足，结局那一番正义凛然的发言应该就是能过审的原因吧，正能量满满呢！
现在的港片又到了需要强心剂的年代，后劲愈发不足了。这不仅仅是编剧的事情，更是包括剪辑在内一众团队都需要思考的问题。
从19年到21年，鸡蛋与高墙，又是权钱交易又是黑警的，还有方中信最后的独白金句，十分切合时势了。开头一段交叉剪接本来拍得好好的，接着却很快把陈家乐的角色放在了次要位置，然后又生硬地把两位大状的取态近乎是调转了。整个故事走向和人物塑造，也很粗糙跳跃，无法令人信服。电影最后对鸡蛋撼高墙争取公义貌似给出了一丝希望，只是很讽刺地香港以后还会不会有这样题材的电影都是未知之数吧。
怎么说呢，作为电影来看真差劲啊，3星都不配。然而为了最后雷的那段话，还是加两星吧……
方中信还是一样棒👍🏻一部靠演技撑起来的电影，让原本略显粗糙的剧本，变幻出了紧凑的节奏。老戏骨们看着就是舒心。
如果这个世界的公平和正义是用金钱收买和法律工作者作伪证才能实现的，那这个这还算是真正的TMD公平和正义么？！着这群老戏骨的演技点赞，智叔在这部人生收尾之作中表现堪称完美，方中信曾经那么大的一位帅哥，可惜也终于老了。没有对比就没有伤害，反观那几位年轻演员，简直太业余了，香港电影没有未来了
一晃，廖叔走了近一年了。遗作一级指控依然很香港，故事、演技都很港。有人说，这个故事经不起推敲，最后法律没有取得胜利，平民的胜利只因富商对女儿的爱。可，人生不就是这样吗？
看老戏骨飙戏超爽也是真的。
[拳头]哎呀喂不错哟 它仍然有我们的陈木胜徐克所拍摄的生化武器热血沸腾的江湖的影子[呲牙][擦汗][庆祝][庆祝][庆祝][炸弹][炸弹][炸弹][炸弹][礼物][礼物][礼物][红包][红包][红包][红包]
很久之前香港很多律师题材的影视，这么多年过去好像没什么长进
