Editorial Review:
Al Pacino plays a Maryland lawyer who takes on a judicial system rife with dealmaking in this awkward blend of satire and sentimentality. Topical director Norman Jewison can't seem to help Pacino get comfortable with the mismatched material, which pushes the film into outrageousness at some turns and mawkishness at others. The script by Barry Levinson and Valerie Curtin is more an accumulation of random ideas and moments than a congruent story. However, it's interesting to see the large cast of good actors, most of whom hadn't become well known yet. (Christine Lahti made her film debut here.) Pacino gets to work for a second time (following The Godfather II) with acting mentor Lee Strasberg. --Tom Keogh

Rating:  - Ugh
I thought this movie was horrific. It was just...dumb, Pacino kept representing clients that just killing themselves and the ending was one of the worst I have ever seen. bad bad movie
Rating:  - Corruption And Deception Vs Integrity
Basically, this movie is about the struggle in between the people who corrupt justice and manipulate it for their own ends, and the people who honestly try to uphold it. Al Pacino is a good honest lawyer, but from the start of the movie, we get the impression that he is nearing the end of his rope (if not already there). (He is basically the opposite of his character in "The Devil's Advocate.") He is worn down largely due to the fact that he has been trying to get an innocent man out of jail, while ... Read More
Rating: - Classic dramatic satire finally gets deluxe edition it deserves with plenty of extras...
Please note: This review is ONLY for the 2008 re-release. If you are reading this and it is under the 2001 release, this review is not for that edition and amazon.com has grouped it together.
It's amazing watching Al Pacino chew the scenery. Norman Jewison's dramatic satire of the judicial system "...And Justice For All" has plenty for Pacino to chew on along with his co-stars Jeffrey Tambor, Jack Warden, Lee Strasberg, Craig T. Nelson and Christine Lahti (in one of her first major ... Read More
Rating: - MISSING IN ACTION
And just exactly where has this gem been hiding all of these years? This one seemingly blew right by me in the late 1970's, much to my chagrin. Pacino plays a supercharged lawyer with morals ,perhaps a Vietnam leftover, who has the audacity to believe that all men should be equal before the law."The system" around him believes otherwise, and Al is seemingly determined to fix as much of it as possible All that he has to do is to get the world to practice the Ten Commandments.His path is ...

Rating: - Pacino shines
I first saw this film on TV several decades ago and hadn't seen it for a long time. Would it have the same impact that it had 20 years ago? Have my views changed in that time? Well having seen it again today, the answer is a resounding yes and no respectively.
Its certainly an oddball film, mixing the laugh out-loud with moments that will leave you knotted up with anger and frustration. Jack Warden plays the suicidal Judge Rayford, and John Forsythe is Judge Fleming who is accused of raping ... Read More
