Class Action (1991)
6/10
Intelligent and empathetic courtroom drama
3 June 2018
An American legal drama; A story about a liberal activist lawyer Jedediah who alienated his daughter years ago. Now a conservative corporate lawyer, she agrees to go up against her father in court in a trial that turns increasingly personal and nasty. Although the screenplay is quite dense in law lingo, it feels authentic, and involves a lawsuit with a powerful ethical slant. The subtext is about forgiveness and change, and that the rule of law must win the day. It's not a nail-biter but it is surprisingly effective, with two lead actors giving good performances.
