Ratings and reviews

Worth my time. Great character development and attention to detail. "You shall not side with the great against the powerless." As one reviewer put it, this movie shows that people of different political and social persuasions can support what is right together. We have more in common than we sometimes think or remember.

Brilliant screenplay by David Mamet, superb acting by all, based on a true story. Excellent.
