Review of ...And Justice for All (1979) by Greggory M — 21 May 2007
What a tremendously underrated picture. Pacino delivers the type of performance one would expect from a legend, and the rest of the film succeeds on a level above the average 70's flick.
The story centrally evolves around the case which Pacino is attempting to defend. However, the raw emotional core of his character is so complex, that the actual case at work is nothing more than another roadblock to his happiness.
Pacino's explosive courtroom sequence nearly singlehandedly deserves him another Oscar. He performs with such conviction that one should almost remind him that this is just a movie.
The cast is flawless, and the direction is handled with perfection. A masterpiece on all scales that exceeds what the average courtroom drama offers. Terrific.
