	I saw this film recently and those of you who may still be hunting
throgh the latest releases looking for one worth the $4.00+ may be interested
in this.

	Firstly thr 'R' rating is slightly high I feel but a least it keeps
the kids away, most of whom will find it boring anyway. I watched it having
heard that Paul Newman was supposed to be superb - and he did a good job, if
he had'nt been so good the movie would have been terrible. This is not to say
that he does not have some excellent support but basically the movie revolves
round him and this one case he is fighting to win.

	The movie starts out slow and it has a couple of twists in the middle
but it is exciting and I found it very watchable in the same way I like
watching a series such as "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" although the stories
are of course in no way comparable.

	Don't go with any great expectations and I think you'll get your
money's worth and you'll also think that Paul Newman is very good but most
of all I think you'll agree that he won't win an Oscar.
