The Judge centres on big city lawyer Hank Palmer (Robert Downey Jr) who returns to his childhood home where his father (Robert Duvall), the town’s judge, is suspected of murder. Hank sets out to discover the truth and, along the way, reconnects with his estranged family.
Also starring Vera Farmiga, Billy Bob Thornton, Vincent D’Onofrio, Balthazar Getty and Grace Zabriskie, this film has a great cast but is wasted on a syrupy sweet plot and demeanour that looks as predictable as it can possibly be.
One to avoid when The Judge opens in the UK on October 17th.
