Day 12
(Careful for spoilers)
Today we review the judge
Wow this movie takes all the cliches of lawyers and lawyer movies and just shoves it into one film. While with movie was not bad, there wasn't a hook. Robert downy Jr. was once again great, but he was himself. I dont know after a few movies with the stuck up know it all, you cant say great acting.
But i cant deny that his performance still moved me. opposite robert duvall these two were clearly grumpy old men,..
There is the classic " stuck in my home town" scenes, lost loves, grumpy dad, to many cliches to count. I did like seeing dax shepard in the film, but he was a bumbling idiot.
I guess you want a quick summary:
hot shot lawyer comes back to town to bury his mother he loves, however the father he hate is making life hell. Unfortunately the father "commits" a hit and run and is sent to trial. He is in a small town so if he did it, he is doomed, if he didnt, then he is still doomed but only his reputation.
Hm. idk what to say, it wasnt good but wasnt bad, I think im going to cut this one short because of my mixed feelings, I may come back to this one some day but for now...
Final verdict: 5*/10 subject to change.
