Mrs. J. Roberts
Another stellar performance from Mr Hackman
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 January 2021
Verified Purchase
Still valid even though the DVD came out in 1991. As always, Gene Hackman puts in a commanding performance, ably supported by his attractive daughter, working at opposite sides of the legal profession. Films like these do no favours for the american legal service, and money certainly rules. Maybe I would have awarded it four and a half stars if I could, but nevertheless it was enjoyable, with a few twists.

Red Rose
a fearsome battle in court and at home
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 February 2008
Verified Purchase
Yes, 5 Stars, probably worth 4 and a half. A little known gem, to the wider audience. A complicated case comes to court whereby a giant car company is being sued for producing dangerous vehicles. The alleged victims hire Gene Hackman from a small local company to take on the case for them, although he is well aware he is unlikely to win against the big company that is to defend the vehicle manufacturers. Matters become worse when he discovers that his own daughter will be the lead council opposing him.

War is declared at home and in court, with his wife left to pay the ultimate price. Hackman is marvelous in this, and really plays from the heart. One or two moments in this might put a tear or two in your eyes. At one point when a key witness pokes fun in court at the alleged victims, Hackman retorts 'it's all right for you to joke, you still have both your arms and legs'.

His daughter, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, hates her father for his past behaviour towards her mother and has no intention of losing the case, although events leave her with a moral dilemma. One can not help taking sides with the underdog, but how will this resolve itself ?? The film has a very fine ending, which is somewhat unexpected. Enjoy.

Hackman excels again
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 August 2011

Hackman is excellent in this role as the crusty old attorney battling with his estranged daughter. One of Hollywoods greatest - in my opinion - Hackman makes it look so easy. A good, not great plot and storyline, is carried well throughout and reaches the slightly obvious conclusion with near perfect timing, as another 15 minuts might have been a tad too long. Buy it, watch it, enjoy it, Hackman is pure class.

Excellent acting from both Gene Hackman & Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, with a chilling story of corporate greed
