 Really a Can't Miss movieMar 03, 2010
Really a classic among movies--shows how a movie should be made. I would say it's even better for video, because a bit boring at times, so you can go do other things for a while, but the movie pulls its self up at the end, with a brilliant powerful ending.
The Verdict (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)Feb 24, 2010
Frank Galvin is a down-on-his luck lawyer, reduced to drinking and ambulance chasing. Former associate Mickey Morrissey reminds him of his obligations in a medical malpractice suit that he himself served to Galvin on a silver platter: all parties willing to settle out of court. Blundering his way through the preliminaries, he suddenly realizes that perhaps after all the case should go to court, to punish the guilty, to get a decent settlement for his clients, and to restore his standing as a lawyer. "The Verdict" is simply one of the best legal dramas ever done. This movie captures Paul Newman's finest screen performance and that alone makes it an important movie. The level of acting is high all around in this movie. The summation is about life, not just the law. It is a masterpiece, worth seeing the entire movie for.
The VerdictDec 20, 2009
I loved this movie. Paul Newnab gave his usual great perfornce but Jack Warden gave an exceptional performance. I loved reaction to the the jury-s verdict with eyes toward heaven. The actress who played the admitting nurse named Costello did a masterful job even though her part was so small.
Classic Newman Style--dry, tragic, and story of coming throughDec 19, 2009
I first fell in love with Newman style acting after watching Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid. This movie in particular is great. Only weakness I find is not in the cast but in the storyline--how the girl was linked with a betrayal. Something is missing there. It just does not flow well. Despite being a relatively modern make, the photography, cinematography and set design have been successful in creating the time and vibe of the cold East Coast--it's fast faced, dog-eat-dog social psyche and pressure of a life being lived. Paul Newman was awsome depicting the man, pique on the world and suffering together with his inner child. It was good, and just perfect acting.
It's not a European movie--so it certainly has Hollywood touch of a tad bit extra drama; but the sharp, smart-ass dialogues went well with Newman and the rest of the cast. What gave the movie the final feather of glory is the closing scene, where the telephone kept ringing--it left the audience wondering, just like a short story does, a mixture of expectation as well as disappointment.
Recommended.
