Four point five stars. More convincing, less dramatic, and more frustrating for the prosecution's lawyers than the Peachy Bloody Case. In the end, the nurse witness appeared. Although the procedure was not impeccable, the dereliction of duty of the attending physician was clearly evident in the nurse's testimony. Finally, the jury was persuaded. Rampling is so...

Paul Newman has no doubt delivered an excellent performance, but Lumet handles the film too slowly. It's a model of a three-act play, and an anti-climax play, where victory isn't trumpeted, and the winner isn't compensated (mentally). The artist deliberately created an outdated and decadent world. The picture is full of lines, and the characters seem to be unable to escape from an ancient prison, which greatly helps to reveal the...

The power of the jury, the reversal depends entirely on the discovery of a nurse's conscience. But why didn't they end up...

A different lawyer film, different in every aspect, even if the events fit with the self-salvation of the protagonist, this film does not have any redemptive joy and excitement. Just like the gray-haired lawyers, their voices are hoarse and low, and they talk like they can't breathe. The dark and heavy space, the empty and cold hall with the clack of leather shoes, this is a lawyer film that wants to be different from all previous lawyer films. , highs and lows are mixed together. The...

Little people stand alone against the barristers. Although they have long expected that no matter how tortuous the process, justice will surely prevail. This is a story that the general public loves to hear. But reality is often...

The script itself is still brilliant, especially some small details, but after more than 20 years, it is a bit wishful thinking, and I think some key plots need to be scrutinized and not rigorous enough. I don't know how this film was in the legal representative work at that time, because I have seen too many themes of this kind of model. To be honest, it attracted me to watch it entirely because of Paul Newman's performance and Sidney Lumet's scene...

Sidney Lumet's legal film is still very strong, and the control of the court trial is particularly strong. Newman also plays this seemingly down-to-earth role without losing the nature of a lawyer. Justice is always the same...
