The Verdict1982
Frank Galvin has one last chance to do something right.
Frank Galvin is a down-on-his-luck lawyer and reduced to drinking and ambulance chasing, when a former associate reminds him of his obligations in a medical malpractice suit by serving it to Galvin on a silver platter—all parties are willing to settle out of court. Blundering his way through the preliminaries, Galvin suddenly realizes that the case should actually go to court—to punish the guilty, to get a decent settlement for his clients... and to restore his standing as a lawyer.

Admittedly this is a legal "Rocky, convincing rather than realistic, witty rather than analytical, but it amounts to a far more effective indictment of the US legal system than ...and justice for all, and is the first courtroom drama in years to recapture the brilliance of the form.
不太喜欢，整个剧情、尤其是法庭戏拍的太直给、像是美式爽文的套路：一个因为某些原因堕落的专业人士突然开窍要行善、危急关头找到了作证专家、掩饰身份用特殊手段最终找到作证护士、护士突然拿出了复印件，等这些“出招”被一一化解，干脆最后来诉诸一番道德良心的独白，然后......就赢了？换个其他平庸导演就算了，可这是吕美特啊.....
This is realistic American film acting at its veristic/imaginative best.
