Captivating legal drama. - The Verdict review by Steve
One of Paul Newman's better eighties roles. Typical liberal and sincere Lumet expose of US medicine versus the little guy. Coming your way soon...

Enjoyable, but a formula subsequently done to death - The Verdict review by CP Customer
If you were subjected to countless John Grisham films in the 90's you might not need to see this.
Highly rated, certainly at the time, but I can't see anything particularly unique about it now.
