Synopsis
Dans les années 1980, au cours d'une émission radiophonique, Jan Schlichtmann, brillant avocat spécialiste dans les procès civils, est apostrophé par Anne Anderson qui lui reproche de négliger une plainte déposée quelques mois plus tôt. Il la rencontre à Woburn, une bourgade du Massachusetts, et apprend que près de 30 enfants de la ville sont atteints de leucémie provoquée par deux sociétés qui déversent régulièrement des substances chimiques à proximité de puits d'eau potable. L'avocat décide de défendre 8 familles contre les toutes-puissantes sociétés industrielles.

Very disappointing, the case you want to hear about, summed up with a few lines of script put on screen at the end. Travolta is poorly cast in this, not good at portraying a genuine person, a bad actor in other words.

Well, that was a bit bloody pointless. I've just watched this and I still don't know if they won. Did they win? All I do know is that JT's character[spoiler] didn't have a pot to piss in, nor a window to chuck it out of at the end[/spoiler].

It is neither the advertised thriller (because for that, it would need to thrill, which it absolutely does not) nor a good movie (because that would need an interesting story and good acting, which is not the case, especially not in the case of Travolta). To me, two hours about a lawyer's transformation from cash-hungry macho to totally broke Average-Joe are just boring!

this court thriller is not about the case only, it's also about the system and the job as a lawyer. William H. Macy is just brillant in his performance. You are a lawyer or want to become one ? Watch this movie and look at the wall that you want to climb. 8/10
