A fantastic movie! It has everything: drama, intrigue, and intelligence. It is a story revolving around the legal world that has deeper purpose which is to explore honour, family relationships, love and acceptance.

Fairly interesting storyline, with good acting on Robert Duvall's part. Could have done without the corny romantic side story.

Excellent acting, captivating storyline. I loved Hank's dialogue: intelligent and succinct. He's so sad about his mom and she was right to blame her husband. Some actions spoke SILENTLY; like when Hank turns to a yappy co-worker in the…

A heartbreaking story about regret and how we can't fix the past but we can be different in the present. Phenomenal acting, too; not surprised Robert Duvall was nominated for numerous awards for his acting in this.

We enjoyed the movie way more than anticipated. Over the past 5 years we have checked out 2 or 3 movies a week so when one comes along like this one we get a lot of enjoyment. Seems as we get older more and more TV programs appear to be…

There have been many stories told about men who leave their homes and return after many years, only to find a great deal of conflict and sorrow. Homer told of Ulysses's 20 year voyage to get back to Penelope; the latest retelling is The…

This is a rather conventional story which will not surprise you at any turn, but which is largely redeemed by the charisma of its cast. Robert Downey Jr., Robert Duvall, Vera Farmiga, and Billy Bob Thornton are never boring to watch.

This movie didn't have an ounce of flow but had continual stop, start scenes that were annoying. The writer kept introducing characters that were totally unnecessary to the story and packing in a bunch of scenes that didn't add anything…

Recipe for making a Hollywood movie about families and crime: 1. Although all characters are initially evil, redemption must be made. 2. Any disfunctional family must have a lovable retard. 3. The primary actors must be tried and…

One the best movies about aging parents made. Downey Jr. is brilliant in this courtroom father and son drama which explores aging and deteriorating mental skills. Both portray self righteous egomaniacs who are trapped not realizing how…

Reminded me of ' The Descendants ' 'Rain Man' and ' August Osage County', it's about a man at a difficult time in his life, and the relationships in his family (so some funny moments like Iron Man , but he's not a superhero). I thought…

This is a good movie. There are twists, turns, and uncomfortable moments; but there are jaw-dropping moments, and moments that could make the viewer smile. I picked this movie because Robert Downey, Jr. was picked to play the part of…

A murder mystery - I felt that this would be a reasonable film to get a chance to see what Robert Duvall is doing lately. I was kinda' disappointed. The film is a mix of comedy and mystery with a very tiny bit of romance. It could have…

WHY CAN'T THEY MOVIES W/ O CUSSING AND SEX -- THEY WOULD BE EXCELLENT MOVIES IF IT WASN'T FOR THAT ~

Robert Downey Jr and Robert Duvall? Does it get any better? Yes it does. You throw in D'Onofrio and add a talented supporting cast. This movie is even better on second viewing. It's just about perfect the way it is, and I wouldn't change a…

The Judge character is not believable! While the show has its moments, I did not care for it as a whole! I don't recommend it!

Drawn home after the loss of his mother, Hank Palmer, lawyer and notorious defender of the guilty, is forced to reconcile with his father, a judge. He's harsh and unconventional but well respected. A recovered alcoholic, the honourable…

Like some racehorses, this flick starts slowly and very predictably : ostracized grown son returns home on mom's death, to discover difficult dad needs his assistance. Robert Downey Jr. plays well as the brilliant, self-absorbed attorney…
