- Who'll love it
- Made for fans of mob stories and fans of a good courtroom showdown. A look inside a world of loyalty, money and betrayal. Liked The Sting or GoodFellas? This is a good next one. The best scenes are battles fought with words.
- The mood
- Funny with heart.
- The pace
- Lets scenes breathe, at 58 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1936: an older pace and style.
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
A female lawyer sets up her own practice but only achieves success as an attorney for the mob.
