One of the worst films about law, or, for that matter, anything else. terrible performances, directing, photography, and most of all, script. Not one trace of realism. the person who wrote and/or directed this disaster has never been in a courtroom. Only And Justice for All is a poorer legal drama. Embarrassingly bad. Anybody who likes this film should have his/her head examined.to make this review comport with the guidelines, this movie stinks, stinks, and stinks. Hollywood formulas gone haywire, and Gene Hackman should be put out to pasture. also, as a lawyer, I am offended by this portrayal of the legal system: actually, its worst than this, but a realistic touch would have nice.
