The Gist: A big-city lawyer is called upon representing his estranged father, a judge, who's accused of murder. During the course of the trial, many secrets are revealed and some old wounds are healed.The Judge follows a fairly standard plot construction but that doesn't really deter from the final result.
Robert Downey Jr. and Robert Duvall, both great actors, beautifully play off each other, even though Downey Jr. seems at times to just rehash the arrogant know-it-all character from other movies (not unlike his Tony Stark persona).
The Bottom Line: If you are a law procedural fan or admire either of the lead actors then The Judge is for you. Overall, a decent film, but soon forgotten.
Grade: 7
