years after watching it you'll have no idea what the central trial was all about... but you'll certainly remember that, whatever it was, it was out of order!

Pacino at the top of his game...[but] the film's lack of faith in its audience is glaringly apparent. [DVD review]

Al Pacino gives a dominant performance as a lawyer whose morals are compromised, but director Norman Jewison can't find the right balance between the critical and satirical elements of the legal system.

Entertaining, with a vintage Pacino performance that only occasionally lapses into grandstanding.

Pacino is a force of nature in this truly entertaining comedy - drama - courtroom procedural.
