Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
...And Justice for All has no part in the stock trade of shock witnesses and surprising revelations. This is about how too many guilty people walk while the innocent take their places in overcrowded jails.

fresh:
Here's an angry comedy crossed with an expose and held together by one of those high-voltage Al Pacino performances that's so sure of itself we hesitate to demur.
– Roger Ebert,

rotten:
With the exception of Mr. Strasberg and Mr. Levene, the actors are as hysterical as their material.
– Vincent Canby,

fresh:
Attempts to alternate between comedy and drama, handling neither one incompetently, but also not excelling at either task.

Justice is seldom as deep or trenchant as it wants to be, but there's abundant pleasure to be gleaned from skating along its surfaces.
