A Civil Action Reviews
Justice definitely needs Solomon's wisdom
One more film about lawyers but a useful one. One more film on pollution but a necessary one. Yes lawyers may believe in what they are doing : fighting for justice, even if justice does not exist really, just, at best, some damages for some damage, one tooth for one mouthful of teeth lost by the fault of someone else. No hope to recuperate your eyes, not even one, when you have been blinded by the corporate delinquent that lives on the other side of the road. No hope and yet some lawyer maybe might be on the track and might catch that delinguent corporate criminal and get some damages for the damage he caused. But there is such a narrow chance it may work, you may prefer to, you might have rather stop the whole machine and cry in your corner, try to forget the damage for which no damages will be enough. This film is so pessimistic that the last page of it does not erase the feeling that there is no hope on this planet, and that we can only hope to die fast and in not too much suffering.

A movie ... not a documentary ... not the book
Great, entertaining movie. Those who expect it to be a documentary - or - to follow the book - I guess have no realistic understanding of movie industry. But, this movie does definitely stimulate your thinking. And may make you want to seek further truth about how types of lawsuits are handled. After seeing the movie you might be stimulated to read the book. Look at the cast. Are these second rate actors!? Hardly!
