Most court case films focus on the war of words between the prosecution and the defense in court, but this film is ingenious to draw the subject to the lawyers of both the plaintiff and the defendant, because their identities are father and daughter. Gene Hackman plays an idealist from the 1960s, who specializes in fighting for the government of the disadvantaged, hoping to fight for the rights of the oppressed under the imperfect capitalist social system. Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, a typical pragmatist in the 1990s, works at a top law firm in San Francisco and is striving to become a partner. Father and daughter do not conspire against each other and usually do not communicate with each other, but now they go to court with each other because of a lawsuit against a car company that deliberately produces cars that endanger the safety of passengers, thus forming a strong contradiction between public and private. Director Michael Apted performed well.
