This is probably the most vague question I've ever asked on here but it's driving me crazy so if you can help i'd really appreciate it!
It's about a young rich man who's accused of murder and his lawyer finds out he's actually guilty but can't say so ovbiousley, because he's his lawyer.
Anyway, I think his Mother is his alibi and the lawyer manages to get her to let him look around her sons room which i think is in the basement. She says he never lets anyone in his room. His room has a very nautical theme and he finds a secret passage in his wardrobe that leads to a derelict boathouse so he sets fire to the boathouse hoping that the police will find the tunnel back to his room. I think there was some hint that the man's father had also been a murderer. They were a very wealthy family.
i thought it was Christian Bale who was in it but i'm not so sure.
Please help!!!!!!!!!

Plot summary for
Criminal Law (1988)
advertisement A rising young attorney successfully defends a man accused of murder, only to have the same type of murder then happen again. Right away the previously defended man hires the attorney again, and although the attorney is quite certain that he is the killer, he agrees to again defend him... much to the consternation of his friends. However, he explains that by being his attorney he will be better able to catch the man in a mistake... and on this the rest of the film develops, with the killer playing a cat and mouse game with the attorney until, at last, they both must recognize that they are not all that different.

Sounds a bit like Masquerade with Rob Lowe from way back in the 80s! The whole film had a nautical theme.
