Legal Action

The acting is OK for the most part, nothing noteworthy and the story is nothing new. This is one of those movies that would be fine to watch for free when nothing else is on. Fans of Walker Texas Ranger/Matlock series will probably be this movies biggest fans. The production values are very shoddy. Solitary confinement right off a commercial kitchen? A prison showing a prefab temporary building and gas pumps? Camara shots of knick knacks instead of character movements? A DA office door leading directly into the courtroom? Usually, even when watching low budget movies, I don't get hung up on how the producer saved money on filming but between the locations, single camara angles, editing and overall production this movie emphasises the low, low end of the scale. I also think that if this were to be made into a series it would only survive if it managed to capture the Walker TR crowd. It would need some serious sophistication upgrades to appeal to a wider audience.

The idea was good enough but why the stupid music throughout? I didn't know if I was watching a western comedy or what. Then, the one liners and corny jokes were over the top. Why can't we just have a good PG movie that isn't cheesy??

Loved this movie. It's true this appeared to be pilot for a weekly show. We want to see more of these same characters. This laid out the premise for a good old boy lawyer going after he bad guys. Need to keep his sidekick PI and his bad ass wife, too! Please make more of these! And it was PG so the whole family could see it.

This is a great movie for light family viewing. I saw the neutral and negative comments but I decided to give it a try and I don't regret it. It's not an Oscar winner nor an art-house flick. But if you want an easy escape for an evening, you won't go wrong with this. It's like a very good made-for-tv movie and I will recommend it to my friends. Thanks for the hard work from all the cast and crew. You did your job by entertaining us for a couple hours.

What is strange about this movie is the never ending sound track. The music plays in the background throughout the entire movie. It's corny and, after awhile, very distracting. The camera shots and scene editing often don't make sense. There are random camera angles and shots added that don't relate to the plot. The writing and character lines are like something written in high school with cheesy one liners and winks. Literal winks. I agree with some of the other reviews that this movie is more like a long pilot for a low budget sitcom. The plot is predictable. So is the ending. I don't recommend this movie.
