This a great movie! I saw this film when it first came out in the theaters many years ago and loved it. Needed to have my own copy. It shows some of the absurd things that happen within our judicial system and the people running it, testing the moral fiber of basically honest people. Jack Warden is great as the suicidal judge. Pacino gives another beautiful performance. The music is somewhat dated as it was filmed in the mid to late 70's with that disco beat thing, but if you can get past that it is very entertaining. Christine Lahti is Pacino's love interest and also does very well in her role.
Great acting and story. Al Pacino makes a great idealist lawyer fighting the good fight against a corrupt judicial system. The final scene demonstrates his idealism to the maximum and is pretty famous. Enjoy!

One of Al Pacino's finest performances, rates up there with his work in the Godfather Series. An intriguing drama with bits of humor occaisionally tossed in which makes it a film which is hard to walk away from. Excellent Movie!

Acting was very good and convincing. Clever script and improvising to bring some comic relief to an otherwise very depressing realism of the flawed American Justice system. Glad none of this was censored back then.
