Media Meltdown Movie Madhouse: Ace Attorney

ACE ATTORNEY Consider yourself served because this month, Movie Madhouse is headed to court with Ace Attorney! From iconic director Takashi Miike (Audition; Ichi the Killer), this 2012 adaptation of the 2001 Capcom release Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney has been dubbed by some as “the best video game movie ever” yet remains criminally under-seen. Guilty as charged! Following the murder of his mentor, rookie defense attorney Phoenix Wright is launched into his first major trial as he squares off against his childhood friend, prosecutor Miles Edgeworth, in a case where his mentor’s sister, spirit medium Maya Fey, is unjustly accused of the crime. And that’s just the beginning as things ramp off from there into more law & order that dips into the realm of the supernatural! So what’s the verdict? You get to watch this incredible film full of murder, ghosts, lake monsters, homoerotic courtroom drama, and some insane lace front wig game! Court is adjourned.
