Never mind the quality - feel the length! Over 2 hours, but it didn't feel that long, so it can't be all bad. But was it all necessary? I could have sliced 20 minutes of fluff from it, and maybe filled it back out with the same length of Grisham-esque moot. Apart from the unnecessary (romantic) side-plot the whole thing was a straight line. A dotted line at that - it was choppy, so to speak. It's not a bad film. Even if you think I've been negative I'd encourage people to watch it, as there is something in there for even cynics like me. Danny DeVito provided enough comic relief with his almost mole-like down-to-earth character, for example. I'm a very harsh voter, and I gave it a 5 which for me is _right_ down the middle. Phil

I like going back and watching younger versions of actors who I've grown up with. The movie is okay, I probably liked it more before I watched a bunch of lawyer tv shows. Now it just feels like a rookie episode stretched out. A very good cast but a bit unsatisfactory ending.
