It's tough to find a film with no bad actors, with an adult plot, and with scenes that make your laugh, and scenes so realistic they break your heart. Anyone out there who has had to be a carer for an adult parent suffering from disease will need a Kleenex for a scene in a bathroom with Downey and Duvall.
I am not sure if I ever say Robert Duvall turn in a poor performance. And after I saw Robert Downey Jr. In Chaplin, I knew he was a great actor who was robbed of an Oscar. After that there were some hits and misses until he did Iron Man in 2008 and carried the Marvel Universe forward to becoming a huge franchise.
In this film you will see two actors in two great performances. That alone should be reason enough to watch this film. But the story will draw you in to figure out why a respected judge seems to have gathered so many enemies, and why a cut-throat defense attorney would have even one friend.
As to the finish of this film, I don't know, that is for you to decide on how it went.
