Review of ...And Justice for All (1979) by Suvo P — 04 Jan 2013
Al Pacino as an Idealist Lawyer torn amongst staying just, saving his career and winning.
It's not a typical court-room drama. The film isn't focused particularly on a single trial. It's more of a satirical take on American (but I felt the message that was intended to be delivered is quite universal) judiciary system.
Backed up by good performances for everyone. But Al Pacino was on a different level altogether. There were two scenes that will remain with you thanks to his talent. One was when he confronts his friend for screwing up a trial with catastrophic result. The character's human side was well depicted in that scene where Arthur Kirkland utters 'They are people, they are just people.' Pacino nailed it; and the climax speech of his.
