this movie is sort of disappointing, cutting short what is intriguing in the book, e.g., well-planned interrogatory, installing a team of expert witnesses, how to finance a personal injury case, etc. sometimes justice simply can't be done, which is a depressing dose of the reality.

however the cast is impressive, from Travolta to Duvall, and of course William Macy, compensating the shortness of the adoption.

BTW did you guys notice the shots of Fenway Park? I was getting excited! Go Sox!
