From the beginning, the plot, character development and suspense are first rate. In fact, the movie goes very well in every respect, except that the whole movie turns on the remembrance of Mark on the witness stand at the end of the movie And even this is acceptable except for the fatal flaw: Mark gives absolutely no explanation as just why he switches jackets with the man he just beat up.As a matter of fact, if the reason was to pretend that, when found,the body would be that of a British Major and not his own, why in the world wold he put on a jacket which was probably spotted with blood, hardly the action of a sane man. Try as I might, I cannot think of a reason for the switch, and even the prosecutor fails to ask the reason for this action. Without a satisfactory answer to this question, the entire testimony is worthless.After all, it is in this jacket that the trinket that his wife gave him is discovered which then causes to prime witness against him to recant his testimony, and thus proves his innocence.
