4.4

For the facts, read the book or study the case; the movie is more concerned with how the law works, and how perhaps the last thing you want is a lawye .. Rogerebert

3.5

Here is a film not interested in the surprise twists of other courtroom movies, but focuses on the strategy of the law. E Film Critic

1.5

Delivering the verdict two thirds into the movie is anti climactic, while Schlichtmanns belated atonement feels beside the point. Time Out
