Well made historical courtroom drama

By Michael Harbour on January 16, 2012

A well made courtroom drama examining issues of fairness, rights, and constitutionality in the pursuit of political ends. This exploration of the trampling of rights and laying aside of the constitution is a fitting bookend in telling the end story of the President who started us down the slippery slope of wholesale Executive disregard for the Constitution which has accelerated ever since. (Not that that is addressed in the movie, but it gives the movie extra punch for those who know their history.)
