The Verdict
1982
****
Director: Sidney Lumet
Cast: Paul Newman, Charlotte Rampling, Jack Warden, Lindsay Crouse
Paul Newman gives a superb performance as a down-and-out lawyer who gets more than he bargained for when he takes on a large hospital in a malpractice case. The strong story about one man's belief in justice carries us through some formulaic court room proceedings and an ending that seems glued on. Scripted by David Mamet.
