This was a very good movie. Al Pacino was fantastic. The courtroom scenes were intense and emotionally charged, I loved it!
Al Pacino was an excellent lawyer. This movie was so good because it showed him in the work place and how it effected him in his personal life. A very good movie, it's one of my favorites.
The best scene was the climax when he exploded in the courtroom and and screamed one of the most famous quotes in cinema history! 9/10
