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.
Way better than expected. Amazing cast & performances, riveting storytelling, outstanding direction as it unfolds perfectly.
If you're not from US, and you've been wondering what all this drama around Luigi Mangione is about, you need to watch this.
About moral, lawyers and the legal system
Lawyer with a good heart juggling three cases. I like altruistic lawyers. I like seeing bad guys get punished. Great side story with girl.
EASILY in the top 5 movies for me. SOOOO many good parts. Everyone needs to see it. There is a story for everyone
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
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
