Very slow, very slow, no ups and downs, no exciting generosity, and the old lawyer is not in a hurry when facing the jury. The whole movie is like an old lawyer played by Newman, a twilight hero who seems to have more than enough strength, but stubbornly persists. It's not flavorful, but it's a bit dull indeed. The ending is quite interesting. The justice of the judiciary conflicts with the justice of the heart. Should you follow your own judgment or stick to the fairness of the...

3.5. With the protagonist Fang in a weak position for the first three-quarters of the time, how to make the final reversal convincing is one of the biggest problems in courtroom...

The whole film is as plain as water, the rhythm is slow and no climax, a few scenes (the encounter in the bar, the change of the male protagonist's mind and the discovery of the female protagonist's identity) are too deliberate, plus an expected reversal to win the ending, it is a kind of dull disappointment...

It feels that the professional ability of the male protagonist has not been reflected, but maybe this is part of the character image? I don't really like the line at the end that persuaded the jury, and the unexpected demeanor of everyone, which completely shifted the focus of the story or the final point from the protagonist to the...

It seems that he has been borrowing legal stories to tell a man's struggle with life, and what is wonderful is that at the end, the lawsuit is won, but the still dark emotions imply that the struggle with life will not have an end and...

Lu Meite's rhythm has always been so steady, and even felt a little boring at the beginning, especially the heroine's line, which is more like a plot from the 1950s and 1960s, including the subsequent development is also very subtle. Lumet is also really oldfashioned. The ending (as I expected haha) really gave Newman a close-up of the front, the signature piercing blue eyes, the sword is not...

The whole process is waiting for Newman to explode. As a result, I can only envy the court system in Europe and America. The film is uneventful, the old-fashioned redemption and the final reversal. People are alive, and the law is...

The film is very neatly shot, and it is still David Mamet's script. Without his usual Mamet Speak, it can be seen that he was not a big name when he wrote the...

There is no other case, only this...

A poor and cornered lawyer takes on a medical malpractice case against well-known barristers from a parish hospital and a corps of lawyers from a powerful bishopric. Smooth and flat, and finally, when everyone knew what was going on but were ordered to pretend to be invisible, a speech from the desperate protagonist and the jury system saved...
