Daniel S Dec 4 Al Pacino dominates the screen in his 1979 film ...And Justice for All. He delivers a performance full of raw anger and precision timing. Critics and audiences still rank it among his top three roles from that decade. The movie attacks the legal system head on. Lawyers bend rules daily. Judges trade favors. One client faces prison for a minor traffic violation because the system needs a win. Another guilty defendant walks free after political pressure. Director Norman Jewison shoots these scenes with zero filter. The facts speak for themselves. Pacino plays Arthur Kirkland, an attorney who hates what his job forces him to do. He explodes in the famous courtroom speech. Every word hits because the buildup earns it. Viewers feel the rage he held back for two hours. The American Film Institute placed that outburst at number 24 on its list of greatest movie quotes. 10/10. Watch it tonight.

Some good scenes, but the story seems lost See more Alain E @AlainE Jul 2 I don’t care who directed this and if Pacino is trying to stay afloat playing the leading role. A legal dramedy! To be avoided. See more Christian K @ckacar Jun 13 Pacino really is incredible here and a true man of the people in this tough look at a rigged system and its effects on those in and around it. Love the structure in this as it focuses the majority of its runtime on its lead and building the world, there are only several scenes dedicated to the primary case of the film.
