donna1953

This movie was a good watch, the acting was great particularly the two masters of this epic film. Russel Crowe and Denzel Washington were perfectly cast for the roles they portrayed. I watched the unrated uncut version of this movie. Even with almost a 3 hour run time I did not feel like the director dragged out the necessary scenes that clearly built the plot. It was indeed intricate in some areas and did not lose my full attention to the words spoken. Although there are other movies that contain organized crime, drugs and a lot of guns and violence this one told a deep real life emergence of attitudes toward making our USA a better place to live for everyone. Most of the results never existed before in our Country's history. Hang on till the very end of this movie for the big reveal.

This obviously is a Grishom novel about a law firm. The beginning was a bit slow and lumbering apparently trying to set up the storyline. Once it got going it was full speed ahead. Who was going to win this battle of lies. Just about everyone or anyone was a hiding something and to guess the outcome exactly would not be easy. The lead characters played their roles well, some were exceptional. I never liked Cruise's wife in the movie. Too much of a pain for me. But if that was the worse part it was still well worth my time to watch the entire film. Who knew lawyers could be so devious. LOL. If you have got the time I suggest you watch it.

Something about Matthew McConaughey playing a very slick lawyer. A+ for him. M Mc is believable and keeps you on your toes watching and listening to all that is happening. No down time in this film. There is something always going on and keeping your attention to the details. My husband and I really enjoyed this film. M Mc really shows his street smarts to get the job done. I liked the fact that McConaughey knew how when and where to interact with all the people on the streets of a tough City. I got some laughs along the way as well and could identify with some of the scary things going on in a big City. It would be well worth your time to watch this picture. If you are like me you will love the ending.
