Summary
High-powered attorney Shigemori (Masaharu Fukuyama) reluctantly agrees to defend murder-robbery suspect Misumi (Kōji Yakusho), knowing the man already confessed and had been convicted of murder thirty years ago. But as he digs deeper, Shigemori begins to doubt whether his client could be the murderer after all. From Palme d'Or winner Hirokazu Kore-eda, The Third Murder is a gripping and morally complex crime procedural that incisively explores the meaning of truth and innocence.
