Highlights:
- Norman Jewison comes up with a simple yet interesting storyline to throw light on corruption, racism et al. that exist in the judicial framework. The non-complex method of writing strikes an emotional chord easily.
- Al Pacino, in another riveting role, lives the Arthur Kirkland he plays - His haplessness,disgust and the final speech of outburst to the jury are top-notch stuff synonymous of Al Pac!
- The roles of the senior take-it-easy judge & the battered lawyer who tonsures make their point crisply.
