Review of The Star Chamber (1983) by Matthew S — 15 Oct 2008
A film with an intruiging premise poorly executed by illogical and silly decisions made by it's protaganist's. The central character is played by the usually dependable Michael Douglas who at times seems to be sleepwalking through the role.
The whole idea of the secret judges club is brought into the movie far to late to really make an impact with the viewer. And I just couldn't buy the stupid crusade Douglas goes on to save two criminals.
There are a few neat supporting turns from Hal Halbrook and Yaphet Kotto but they can't save this movie from two star inigomy.
