Pretty stock standard "based on a true story" courtroom drama with a bit of splash from the comedic sides and some solid performances, Jurnee Smollett and Mamoudou Athie standing out for me personally. Solidly written, decently paced and if you enjoy courtroom dramas I don't think you will go too far wrong. If you don't enjoy them, this will not be the one to win you over. Certainly not on the level of the likes of A Few Good Men, Erin Brockovich or The Rainmaker but I don't think anyone should be expecting that. Between this and The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial coming out at the same time, if courtroom dramas are your jam you have an unexpected double feature. Again, neither are probably going to light the scene on fire, but for a genre that seems to get a lot less of them than we did 20 years ago, I'll take it.

I wasn't expecting much. I really like Tommy Lee Jones and Jamie Foxx, but I hadn't heard of the movie until it flashed on my Amazon suggestions. Based on a true story is also one of my favorites when looking for a feel good film. This knocks it out it the park. Jones and Foxx have a special chemistry, hopefully reflective of the two men they portrayed. it calls out corporate racism in a unique way that is often overlooked, while also calling out the will known abuses of the small businesses they compete with. I highly recommend. 10/10.

It is not "12 Angry Men" level courtroom drama but it is worth watching. Acting is really good in every way. Sad to see another great actor, Jones is getting old. It is based on a true story, slapping historical racism in our faces. Nicely done.

Another great performance by Jamie Foxx.
