An amateur lawyer doing the impossible by trusting himself to do what is right.
Matt Damon and the whole cast make this a very memorable movie. It's definitely up there as one of the best lawyer movies that I have seen.
About moral, lawyers and the legal system
I don't remember a lot but I remember the John Grisham's vibes of the movie.
Its a nice (mostly) light hearted court movie. Matt Damon is awesome as always, no other blow me away performances
Great performance by Matt Damon. Follows a young lawyer in a huge trial where the the moral is put agaist the money of an insurance company
It’s the ultimate underdog story. A story that shows those in power can be toppled down.
A decent courtroom drama that is probably the best adaptation of a John Grisham book.
A great courtroom movie with the unexpectedly awesome duo of Matt Damon and Danny DeVito.
Solid court thriller that does a great job of revealing the truth layer by layer. Devito and Damon have great chemistry. Ending is fantastic
