Curiosidades
Jerry O'Keefe was a Marine pilot in World War II. He shot down five Japanese planes in one day on April 22, 1945, becoming an ace in one day. He shot down two more on April 28, 1945. He was awarded the Navy Cross and the Distinguished Flying Cross.

Pifias
When Jerry goes to Willie's mother's home to meet with him, Willie's mother mentions to Jerry that Willie is "one of 11 siblings." Jerry responds, telling her "I have 13 children of my own." To which Willie quips "Y'all have 26 kids between you." Of course, 13 plus 11 --- as per the released version of the film --- equals 24, not 26.

Citas
Hal Dockins: I mean, Jerry's a... a dream client. He's got a great narrative. He's a war hero. A decorated war hero. He served in World War II. He was, he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross... for service for his country.

What a treat to see Jamie Fox and Tommy Lee Jones hit it out of the park!

Simply watching the first 5 minutes I instantly KNEW I was in for a good movie. Why?

No spoilers here: but the very first 5 minutes reveal to me that this is a movie with a HEART, with terrific, subtle HUMOR and with a story that is out of wack but still very much TRUE to life. (Based on a true story, which is explained during the very end credits of this movie).

The good: watching Tommy Lee Jones and Jamie Fox knock it out of the park is such a treat. I mean these 2 actors have proven themselves to be some of the finest American actors and they simply pull it of again. They NAIL IT. They really do!

Any bad? The first hour is the best, that's when we get to see how Tommy Lee Jones (a funeral home director in need of money) and Jamie Fox (a famous lawyer) get to know each other and make plans to sue one of the wealthiest corporations.

The second hour is a bit timid and lacking in spark and punch though, because it consists of mostly court hearings and those hearings arent as good as I hoped for. Not bad, but I have seen better.

Another slightly disappointing thing is that the supporting actors are kinda mediocre. Again they are not bad, but lacking in charisma, which does matter, because they are the main cause that this movie is lacking in true drama.

A charming, lighthearted courthouse story with lots of civil rights issues written into it. Not the greatest, but it left me with a smile on my face. I'll settle for less...
