Unlike some who like a particular genre, I tend to watch movies that contain a certain actor or actress. I do not limit myself to this, but when I find an actor or actress who fits my personal idea of a good actor I like to see if that follows through in all their movies. One example of this is Jameson Parker. I grew up with Simon & Simon and like both actors of that series. At the moment I am trying to locate Jameson Parker movies, which is quite difficult. As for this particular film - it was not one of my favorites. He has done better work, or rather I should say has chosen better parts to play. It seemed to follow the lines of Indiana Jones or Alan Quartermane, but with what looks like, lower budget. It was an all right attempt and I watched it twice, but it was trying too hard or not hard enough. Either way it missed the mark. As for Jameson Parker, in my opinion he IS a good actor,( although I haven't seen or heard of him doing anything but guest spots on a couple of tv shows). And regardless of how good or bad the film is he is into the character and does his best. He is an active participant of the film despite the size of the part, unlike some actors ( who shall remain nameless) who are big now. I am anxious to see other films by this gentleman to see if my faith in his work will be honored. I do hope someone out there will put him another movie or television series. I will watch it and I'm not the only one.

I know this movie as American Justice. I searched and now finally own it and would be hard pressed to ever get rid of it. For me the acting is good for the Wilford Brimley, Gerald McRaney and Jameson Parker, the other lead character left me cold. The best part for me was seeing the stars of tv's Simon & Simon working together in totally different roles. Just goes to show the chemistry goes beyond the series. Worth watching at least once. Good viewing
