Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
A familiar yet compelling South Korean courtroom drama, propelled by Song Kang-ho's strong performance as an unlikely hero.
What makes writer-director Yang Woo-seok's feature debut special is how it handles this shocking incident with verve, style, and humor.
Every scene does its job, tears flowing on cue.
Just when a viewer is lulled into believing "The Attorney" is a lighthearted comedy about a doofus of a lawyer, this powerful South Korean feature takes a sharp turn toward brutal political thriller.
