Review of The Verdict (1982) by Danny R — 29 Dec 2015
Paul Newman delivers yet another great performance as an alcoholic, down-on-his-luck lawyer who takes on a medical malpractice case which he has little-to-no chance of winning, but feels he must to redeem his career. James Mason is equally great as the smarmy, cocksure defending lawyer in the impending lawsuit.
This drama is more powerful in its scenes outside the courtroom rather than within, but none of the scenes disappoint, helped by an intelligent screenplay by David Mamet and handled diligently by director Sidney Lumet.
