Editorial Review: Product Description: When a corrupt judge is charged with rape arthur kirkland must defend him. Kirkland has had problems with the judge in the past including one incident when the judge wrongly sentenced his client jeff mccullaugh because of a technicality. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 03/23/2004 Starring: Al Pacino John Forsythe Run time: 120 minutes Rating: R Director: Norman Jewison Amazon.com essential video: Al Pacino plays a Maryland lawyer who takes on a judicial system rife with dealmaking in this awkward blend of satire and sentimentality. Topical director Norman Jewison can't seem to help Pacino get comfortable with the mismatched material, which pushes the film into outrageousness at some turns and mawkishness at others. The script by Barry Levinson and Valerie Curtin is more an accumulation of random ideas and moments than a congruent story. However, it's interesting to see the large cast of good actors, most of whom hadn't become well known yet. (Christine Lahti made her film debut here.) Pacino gets to work for a second time (following The Godfather II) with acting mentor Lee Strasberg. --Tom Keogh Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - UghI thought this movie was horrific. It was just...dumb, Pacino kept representing clients that just killing themselves and the ending was one of the worst I have ever seen. bad bad movie Rating:  - Corruption And Deception Vs Integrity Basically, this movie is about the struggle in between the people who corrupt justice and manipulate it for their own ends, and the people who honestly try to uphold it. Al Pacino is a good honest lawyer, but from the start of the movie, we get the impression that he is nearing the end of his rope (if not already there). (He is basically the opposite of his character in "The Devil's Advocate.") He is worn down largely due to the fact that he has been trying to get an innocent man out of jail, while fighting the corrupt Judge Forsythe. Forsythe seems to believe in keeping with the strict letter of the law, even if that does not uphold the intent of the law. (So this sets the mood for the movie.) Along the way, Al Pacino tries to help a cross ...

If you are reading this and it is under the 2001 release, this review is not for that edition and amazon.com has grouped it together. It's amazing watching Al Pacino chew the scenery. Norman Jewison's dramatic satire of the judicial system "...And Justice For All" has plenty for Pacino to chew on along with his co-stars Jeffrey Tambor, Jack Warden, Lee Strasberg, Craig T. Nelson and Christine Lahti (in one of her first major screen roles). Pacino manages to get every morsel of nutrition out of a scene. The meaty script allows Pacino's co-stars to equal him scene for scene which is perfect for a dramatic satire of this sort. Opening with images of an ... Read More: Rating: - MISSING IN ACTIONAnd just exactly where has this gem been hiding all of these years? This one seemingly blew right by me in the late 1970's, much to my chagrin. Pacino plays a supercharged lawyer with morals ,perhaps a Vietnam leftover, who has the audacity to believe that all men should be equal before the law."The system" around him believes otherwise, and Al is seemingly determined to fix as much of it as possible All that he has to do is to get the world to practice the Ten Commandments.His path is strewn with nutty defendants, unscrupulous lawyers, wacky judges, immoral judges,and a bevy of politicians and legal gaffes. He's already at the breaking point when the most hated judge in New York (Forsythe) hires Al to defend him in a rape case ... Read More: Rating: - Pacino shinesI first saw this film on TV several decades ago and hadn't seen it for a long time. Would it have the same impact that it had 20 years ago? Have my views changed in that time? Well having seen it again today, the answer is a resounding yes and no respectively. Its certainly an oddball film, mixing the laugh out-loud with moments that will leave you knotted up with anger and frustration. Jack Warden plays the suicidal Judge Rayford, and John Forsythe is Judge Fleming who is accused of raping and assaulting a young woman. Al Pacino is Arthur Kirkland an idealistic lawyer who ends up defending Judge Fleming. There are a few contrived moments, but stick with it as the ending is worth waiting for, when Al Pacino gives his opening ... Read More: |
