For some reason, HBO has been giving this movie regular play since I saw it in the middle of the night last week.  I caught the first 10 minutes of the movie which, I admit, I missed when I first saw the movie.  To be honest, after seeing those missing 10 minutes, I have to say that I might have overrated the movie.  The reason for the lead character’s disbarment was so ludicrous, so ridiculous, that this guy had to be sick the day they taught law at his law school.  If you can stand to watch a train wreck, give it a go.  If you like Cuba Gooding, Jr. or Tom Berringer or Eric Stoltz, give it a go.  If it’s none of the above, change the channel, go to www.hulu.com or watch something on www.youtube.com and pass the time you would have wasted.

Revised rating ½ Gavel
