Critic Reviews for Legal Eagles

All Critics (15) | Top Critics (1)

Legal Eagles primarily comes off as a lazy and fairly pointless vanity project that squanders the talents of everyone involved.

Reel Film Reviews

Further proof that postGhostbusters Ivan Reitman is pretty much crap

So-so star vehicle. Harmless.

Audience Reviews for Legal Eagles

½

It may not be sure if it's a comedy or a thriller, but it's still a decent two hours and worth a watch.

This is a tough one but overall I would say see it. Not for the blah courtroom drama or Daryl Hannah "acting" like a retard again. Watch it for the chemistry between Redford and Winger. Winger is just so likeable.

Robert Redford looks out of place in this legal thriller played for laughs that feels like a glib, vacuous 80s TV show pilot.

Clever and jokey tale of a DA and lawyer teaming up to get performance artist off a murder rap. Redford, Winger and Hannah are great performance as a team.
