Reviews


83
The A.V. Club - Nathan Rabin
Justice is seldom as deep or trenchant as it wants to be, but there's abundant pleasure to be gleaned from skating along its surfaces.
75
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
Here's an angry comedy crossed with an expose and held together by one of those high-voltage Al Pacino performances that's so sure of itself we hesitate to demur.
70
Newsweek - David Ansen
If the movie is a mess, it's a vital, entertaining mess -- the most interesting film Jewison (F.I.S.T., In the Heat of the Night) has made in years. [22 Oct 1979, p.102]
60
Empire - Unnamed
If an uneasy mix of humour and sadness never quite gels, its message is clear and its cast uniformly strong.
60
Variety - Unnamed
And Justice for All is a film that attempts to alternate between comedy and drama, handling neither one incompetently, but also not excelling at either task.
