A lawyer is forced to defend a guilty judge, while defending other innocent clients, and trying to find punishment for the guilty and provide justice for the innocent.
From memory: Over-the-top satire on the US justice system has a great cast and good cinematography, but, despite in some singular moments, somehow misses the point.
Halliwell (no star): "Not so much a satire as a series of random pot-shots at the legal system, sometimes funny but cumulatively stultifying."
Maltin**1/2: "Outrageous satire mixes uncomfortably with painfully sad moments, in attempt to make stating statement on buying and selling of justice. Strong performances and good location photography cannot overcome weak script."
