      Toni S This movie was an unexpected surprise. It was a "small" movie, but intense. I was sitting on the edge of my chair. Walter Matthau is a jewel. Not only does he add a bit of comic relief, he brought warmth and genuine compassion to the role. His pain upon learning of his son's passing was heartwrenching. Perry Mason would have been proud of his courtroom demeanor. The movie was shot in Colorado Springs, Colorado and gave us glimpses of the Garden of the Gods as well as utilizing their beautiful Courthouse. The supporting actors were cast perfectly. To me, this is one of Walter Matthau's best performances. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/24 Full Review Ram 4 Very simple review. It's a must see. Excellent story and acting. Walter Matthau at his best. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/03/24 Full Review Steve D Solid story with a great star. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
