From the Hip was a film I loved the first time I saw it. I'd choose it over My Cousin Vinny any day. Judd Nelson made the film, with his energetic and captivating, non Razzie performance as an unruly and unethical public defendant, who we just love, cause he, well... shoots from The Hip. In reality it would so great to have lawyers like him, but there is no one in the world, quite like Robin Stormy Weathers. After setting up his own case, with the help of a friend, playing his warring opposition, he wins it, where he's then thrown his first big one, a defense involving a professor (Hurt) who's been accused of killing a woman in a much brutal manner, where he says he's been set up, where at the end, Judd does what no defendant should do, or should he? Featuring a very vibrator scene, and a few Porky's stars (I forgot to mention this is a Bob Clark movie) From The Hip is such an engaging comedy, where Clark really impressed me with this. He's brought to the screen a really colorful courtroom drama comedy, with an truly explosive finale, where Nelson's really rides Hurt, into an all out confession. If you loved My Cousin Vinny, you'll definite love this one, the magic in Nelson's lovable performance. An underrated movie, that warrants must see viewing.
