The thing with The Judge is that it caught me by surprise in that it wasn't really what I expected at all. This isn't a true-to-form courtroom drama a la "A Few Good Men" or even a pseudo lawyer thriller a la "The Firm". What this really is a man's version of August : Osage County, certainly not what I expected. While The Judge tries to blend in courtroom thematics and action with the family oriented character play of "Osage County", it ultimately compromises on both ends. The acting however is superb and Robert Downey and Duvall are both excellent. I would wait for a rental but it's certainly not a bad choice for Tuesday night.
