Pesci's first words to the jury: EVERYTHING THAT GUY JUST SAID IS BULLSHlT
No miracles at all, just celebrating a nice afternoon with this old, well scripted (Grisham) Pesci flick. Great comedic timing amidst a sea of intrusive camera work (crane flying around every second scene) and shaky Ralph M 'acting'.
Oscar winning Marisa Tomei (beating Judy Davis who probably had more scripted scenes in Woody Allens great Husbands and Wives) wonderfully over the top in her excessive wardrobe, pulls of courtroom scene with class.
On a side note lots of material for Rich Hall and his inspired 'The Dirty South' documentary.
