Frank Galvin is a down-on-his luck lawyer, reduced to drinking and ambulance chasing. Former associate Mickey Morrissey reminds him of his obligations in a medical malpractice suit that he himself served to Galvin on a silver platter: all parties willing to settle out of court. Blundering his way through the preliminaries, he suddenly realizes that perhaps after all the case should go to court; to punish the guilty, to get a decent settlement for his clients, and to restore his standing as a lawyer.

Movie Parental Guide

violence 1/10 A female is slapped(by a man). That's about all.
profanity 6/10 Jack Warden's character is the only one who uses really strong profanity. 7 "f" words are said within the first 35 minutes of the film. After that, it's virtually profanity free. Count: Hell(3) Fuck(7) Damn(2) Shit(1)
alcohol 5/10 Frank drinks heavily throughout the film. There are scenes in bars where people are drinking, and smoking. someone also buys a package of cigars.
frightening 1/10 None that stand out. Overall rating: 14/50
