Genre: Thriller, Drama, Law, Satire, Black Comedy, Farce, Suspense, Courtroom
Tagline: This man needs the best lawyer in town. But the problem is... he is the best lawyer in town.
Plot: 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.Pacino balances a performance between comedy and bleak despair when he adds a thoroughly detestable judge accused of rape to his already miserable client list. Maybe intended as satire, maybe not. Lahti's debut film role.
