      Lumet returned to the theme of legal affairs, and made Paul Newman play a down-and-out lawyer with clear love and hatred. Photography and composition are very particular, and the lighting of this film is also interesting. However, the rhythm of this film is a bit long and tiring in similar films (the climax court scene is relatively stable and restrained, which is different from traditional similar films), and the setting of the only heroine is also a bit strange. Pure tool people? Of course, as a whole, it is still a legal film worth watching, especially the cases in this work are rare cases of medical malpractice that usually appear in such films. In a social sense, it can be regarded as an appeal. The biggest bonus is Paul Newman's performance, and there are a few paragraphs that are very impressive.

      Calm legal film, real but lacking in passion.

    The Verdict quotes

    • Frank Galvin: [to the judge] You couldn't hack it as a lawyer. You were a bag man for the boys downtown and you still are, I know about you.

    • Ed Concannon: Why wasn't she getting oxygen?

      Dr. Towler: Well, many reasons, really...

      Ed Concannon: Tell me one.

      Dr. Towler: She'd aspirated vomitus into her mask.

      Ed Concannon: She threw up in her mask. Now cut the bullshit, please. Just say it: She threw up in her mask.
