Watch ...And Justice for All For Free

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

One of my all time favorites.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

I can't believe a director of Norman Jewison's caliber would make a movie this bad. The acting is terrible and the script is ridiculously over the top. The movie is more uninspired slapstick than courtroom drama. Name me a single incident in history where a judge fired his revolver at the ceiling instead of using his gavel to silence his courtroom?

Good, but not great. Interesting examination of the American criminal justice system. However, the conclusion is too neat and convenient and, worst of all, director Norman Jewison obviously seemed to think this was a comedy-drama. With such a weighty subject and plot, there is far too much fluff - silly detours and sub-plots that add nothing to the story, just detract from it.Performances are so-so. Al Pacino is solid, but his final scene is unnecessarily over-the-top. Many of the supporting performances are cringeworthy, though that might be the writer and director's faults. John Forsythe is quite unconvincing as Al Pacino's nemesis. Jeffrey Tambor is irritatingly over-the-top in his role. Craig T Nelson is ridiculous as the prosecutor. Jack Warden is too weird.The only decent supporting performances come from Christine Lahti and Lee Strasbourg (the famed acting teacher).

first off what a great courtroom drama. Al Pacino turns in a wonderful performance,, as well as Craig T. Nelson, Jack Warden, and a host of others. this movie explores the criminal justice system,, and makes you wonder just how much this is based on reality,, a lot i'm sure. our lawyer hero tries to defend his clients the best he can,, some are guilty some are innocent,, you have to feel for his main client wrongly convicted and rotting in jail,, as far as the dirty judge goes, i'm glad the storyline had our hero not defending the scumbag judge,, the part of the movie that was intriguing to me was the woman hired to get dirt on the case and our hero,, he winds up sleeping with, I guess maybe he figured he would beat her to the punch so if she had information regarding the investigation he would be the first one to find out what was going on.

An ethical Baltimore defense lawyer (Al Pacino) disgusted with rampant legal corruption is asked to defend a judge he despises (John Forsythe) in a rape trial. But if he does not do it, the judge will have him disbarred.Roger Ebert says of this film that "it's not a statement, it's an anthology." And that is absolutely right. The plot above, and a similar plot on the back of the movie's case, only cover about one quarter of what goes on in this film. We have a crazy attorney, a prison riot, a suicidal judge (played expertly by Jack Warden)... the rape trial actually turns out to be such a small part.But that is a good thing, because we get to see Al Pacino being a little bit excited in a variety of different circumstances. And the tone is incredible -- some parts are deadly serious (rape, murder and suicide have to be to some degree) while much of the movie is a very, very dark comedy. And it is incredible.
