The Judge




Cast: Robert Downey Jr., Robert Duvall, Vera Farmiga, Vincent D'Onofrio(Glen) and Jeremy Strong(Dale)
Director:  David Dobkin
Genre: Drama, Crime


Serious drama with difficult English :) Definite worth a watch!

This movie just reminds you, there are good people, there are bad people and then there are the difficult ones :)


You may look forward to:

  • Another amazing flick by Robert Downey Jr. I wonder when is he going to become a senior :D This man possesses some impeccable skills, gets only better with each time. His portrayal of a selfish, insouciant image in each of his movies with amazing dialogue deliveries, gets him to that edge. Watch this movie for him!
  • Robert Duvall, amazing actor. I dont remember seeing him in many movies, nevertheless, absolutely beautiful portrayal of a last generation, egoistic, adamant old judge/father
  • The USP of the movie is the chemistry between the father-son duo! Humanity Vs patience
  • Vera Farmiga, boy oh boy! Giant leap huhh, from ghosts to Robery Downey Jr's lips :) Remarkable! :D She looks very pretty and thats all she does :)
  • Vincent D'Onofrio and Jeremy Strong, in good support!
  • I liked the way the mystery is handled in the flick, and as well concluded. Till the very end you are mesmerized by the way the crime aspect was directed and handled in the scenes!


What you can sleep over:


Difficult English!!  Sigh!!! You cant understand half the dialogues without the subtitles



The dampeners you should be aware of:
  • A portion of the scenes from the court trials were over stretchy and unnecessarily emotional. Keep the emotions out of court! Period! :)
  • Well, Alas! even after being a performance oriented movie, this one is a one time watch only!

  


My Rating: 3.5/5
