And Justice for All

 

And Justice for All 1979

  • Director: Norman Jewison
  • Cast: Al Pacino, John Forsythe, Christine Lahti·      
  • Why? Remember liking it
  • Seen: Once before. Now 5 January 2026      

       A crooked judge (Forbes), a fiery lawyer (Pacino), a prisoner wrongly accused and sentenced.

       Is this a serious film or a farce? I don’t much like courtroom films even when they know if they’re serious or not (and I love My Cousin Vinnie, which knows it’s not).

       What did I like about the film the first time? I have no idea. Pacino does a decent job and has great hair. I like Lahti though not her character here. 

2* of 5
