The Verdict-8/10

The Verdict is a film about law and justice. Although there are many plots that are not true, it can still bring a lot of spiritual shock to the audience. The jury in the Western legal system gives people hope. As the saying goes, there is justice in the world, and justice is in the hearts of the people. Western juries can often play a role in correcting corruption and remedying legal loopholes. This is probably impossible in China. . The speech at the end of Paul Newman is wonderful, and the full text is quoted as follows: You know, so much of the time we're just lost. We say, "Please, God, tell us what is right; tell us what is true." And there is no justice: the rich win, the poor are powerless. We become tired of hearing people lie.

The performance of 3.5 newman is still worthy of applause. The bar scene in the previous paragraph has obviously worked hard from the tone of the voice alone, which is different from any previous role. The script is not a master in legal drama, and the court trial is not too interesting, and it is quite satisfactory. But the theme expression is still very clear, and the villain characters make people grit their teeth. Mason isn't great.

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.
