Puncture

Puncture follows Mike Weiss, a Los Angeles attorney who is fighting an addiction while pursuing a high stakes case against a medical supply company accused of putting patients at risk with dangerous devices. Weiss teams with Paul Danziger to push a civil suit that could topple a powerful corporation, testing his resolve as he moves through clinics, depositions, and late night strategy sessions. The movie builds its tension not on big twists but on the pressure of a real world legal battle and the fragile balance Weiss maintains between professional ambition and personal demons. The human cost of blind corporate profit becomes clear as families and healthcare workers contend with the fallout of unsafe equipment. The case drags in the ethics of medicine and commerce, and Weiss wrestling with sobriety adds a raw, affected layer to every courtroom moment. It's a character driven drama about accountability and redemption rather than a straightforward thriller.

Directed by Adam and Mark Kassen, Puncture is an independent drama inspired by the real life efforts of Paul Danziger and Mike Weiss. The project pairs the Kassen brothers with Chris Evans in the lead, with Mark Kassen, Michael Biehn, Vinessa Shaw and Kate Burton in supporting roles.

Upon release the film drew mixed notices. Critics praised Evans for showing a different shade of his talent and noted the film's earnest look at addiction, accountability, and the ethics of civil litigation. Some reviewers found the pacing uneven, but the core questions about how far people will go for justice and how power shapes legal battles feel timely. The story uses a grounded procedural frame to ask whether individual courage can stand up to corporate profit and whether redemption is possible when past mistakes haunt you. The performances, especially by the supporting cast, give the courtroom texture and human stakes that keep the case personal rather than abstract.
