    The Judge

    Reviewed by

    I've been lucky enough to catch a sneak special preview of THE JUDGE while recently in New York. This dandy film stars Robert Downey Jr. and the still remarkable Robert Duvall as the Judge/Father of Hank Palmer, the Robert Downey Jr. character. It's an out and out serious drama about a crime ( not a word more as to not spoil the plot ) Though it's a crime thriller, the true basis for the movie, at its core it deals with very significant other matters, issues that affect almost everyone... FAMILY MATTERS, the good, but usually the bad that happens in family relationships. Downey is his usual brilliant self and Robert Duvall is a sensation as the JUDGE. As the saying goes, TRUTH IS RELATIVE and finding the truth in this film makes for one hell of a brilliantly scripted movie drama. I loved it. There is already early buzz of a possible BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR nomination for Duvall who has already won an Oscar for TENDER MERCIES and has been nominated a whole slew of times before. When I was very young I remember Robert Downey Jr. in his Oscar Nominated Performance as CHAPLIN. Then drugs ruined his life. Miraculously he overcame his horrendous addiction and has become the highest paid actor of today. This is a solid film in every way. Run and see it when you can!
