A Civil Action

Rating:
Summary: Well done
Review: If you are going to make a talky movie, this is the way to do it. The acting is great and the film is, at times, surprisingly powerful. It also avoids having a happy ending but the ending is not exactly unhappy either. This is a mistake that most films make: the endings are too happy. A Civil Action knows this and does not get in line with all the others.

Rating:
Summary: A good movie that based on a true story
Review: It is a nice drama piece. If you like the Rain Maker, you may enjoy this movie as well.

Rating:
Summary: A so-so plot carried through by good acting
Review: the only thing that helped this movie was good acting. travolta gave a very convincing performance, and duvall was magnificent. other than this however, the plot was nothing more than a drawn-out episode of law and order. it was interesting, but not the action-packed suspense movie some might expect. nonetheless, worth the rental, not the purchase.

Rating:
Summary: It was okay
Review: I found some parts unrealistic. Overall, it was a satisfying enough rental.

Rating:
Summary: A gripping legal drama.
Review: John Travolta is brilliant as personal injury lawyer Jan Sclictman who clearly gets in over his head in this story based on actual events. Robert Duvall, Kathleen Quinlan, And William H. Macy lead a supporting cast in this must see DVD. I highly recommend it.

Summary: A must see for parents
Review: This movie tells the unvarnished truth about what goes on in the world of cancer cluster investigation. Whatever else may or may not have been wrong with the case, the movie is worth seeing for the portrayal of the judge and his rulings. Did anyone believe that the legal system would protect children from cancer causing chemicals in the drinking water? Think again.

Summary: This is just my opinion, but I didn't like this movie.
Review: I did not like this movie, there was all this talk about how it was supposed to scare you and stuff. If you want to get an awesome law movie, get the rainmaker. i would pass this one. the only person that I feel should get recognised for a brilliant performance is Cathleen Quinlan. You can tell by the way she acts that she really lost something. Anyway, this whole"Somethings Wrong With the water" case could have worked, but it didn't. And in this movie, why would John travolta's character give up all of his money to this case, the ending is not very happy, not that all movies need to have happy endings(take brad pitt's character's ending in Se7en for example). But you may like it sitting through a long movie that moves very slowly, but I did not like it. I request that If you want to go see a good Travolta performance, grab your coat and go to a theater closest to you,(or farthest if you perfer) and go see "The Generals Daughter". I think you should stick to Travolta's action flicks and mystery flicks. :(
