Al Pacino stars as an idealistic young lawyer in this courtroom drama, which takes a scathing look at the American justice system. First seen in prison where he's serving time for contempt, Pacino's attorney is a crusader, fighting corruption within his profession with a zeal that real-life lawyers can only dream of. The script by then husband-and-wife Valerie Curtin and Barry Levinson is, on the whole, solid enough, but the direction by Norman Jewison is rather bloated. Watch out for a nice cameo by Lee Strasberg, the legendary Method acting teacher who starred as Pacino's Jewish mobster rival in The Godfather, Part II.
