Verdict, The
Aroview: Sombre dramatic death-march, with Paul Newman playing a convincingly booze-soaked lawyer, whose last chance in the courtroom sees him prosecuting a case of medical negligence against the Catholic church. Script by David Mamet nails the essentials home. Also stars Charlotte Rampling, James Mason, Jack Warden and others.

4 stars (Very Good) Astounding performance from Paul Newman playing the ambulance chasing lawyer seeing the light and making good. The final summing up to the jury burns in the memory. Lumet returns to his roots. A movie which deserves to be better known than it is. ~Anon
