Review of Just Cause (1995)

By Kristi Turnquist (9) for Portland Oregonian (2,019) on 26 Jan 2001

Review of Just Cause (1995)

By Roger Ebert (5,190) for Chicago Sun-Times (7,580) on 01 Jan 2000

Review of Just Cause (1995)

By Barbara Shulgasser (553) for San Francisco Examiner (1,621) on 01 Jan 2000

The plot falls with a thud, but the movie is surprisingly involving owing to performances by Connery, who is always an unfaltering standard…

Review of Just Cause (1995)

By Richard Schickel (546) for Time (1,811) on 14 Feb 1998

What must be said is that the new movie is simply awful: poorly structured, vulgarly written, insipidly directed, monotonously performed…

Review of Just Cause (1995)
