You need to watch this movie!- The Judge

First and foremost, you find me a bad movie with Robert Duvall in it. Secondly you find me a bad movie with Robert Downey Jr in it, then ask yourself is it his fault? Anyway if you are having trouble with either of those questions the answer is more than likely no, because both of these class A actors are phenomenal on there own and both have the capacity of making a movie, and together they made one of the best dramas to hit the big screen in a long time.

Hank Palmer played by RDJ is a big city defence attorney in chicago and is pretty messed up morally knowing that he is helping guilty people getting off easier than they deserve and making boatloads of cash while doing it because “innocent people can’t afford him”. Like RDJ’s role as Tony Stark in the Iron Man series RDJ is capable of blurring the lines between the actor and the role to the point where you don’t know if he is exactly acting or just being himself. Anyway his wife just cheated on him and he gets a phone call his mom has died. Hank’s life is at rock bottom and he decides to make it go even lower by returning to the place he hates most, home and this is because of his father, Robert Duvall or better known as Judge or Judge Palmer. He goes home and pays respect to his mother immediately starting up with his sober 25 years father. The night before he leaves he notices his father’s car looked like he got in an accident and after another argument with his father where he says he will never come back he gets a phone call from his brother saying the Judge was taken to the police station because they had reason to believe he hit someone and killed them. Come to find out that the person ran over was reason of the biggest mistake he made in his life. This guy shot up his girlfriends house and cried his eyes out in the courtroom and the Judge took pity, so he gave him the minimum 30 days, and after those days were up he went and killed the girlfriend and had just gotten out. The rest of the story is to good and I can’t bring myself to spoil it for you. Watch it!
