I would never have known from the ads on TV, but the WSJ tells me that this movie is about evil Gun Manufacturers trying to subvert our judicial system. Fortunately, Liberal defense attorney Dustin Hoffman may be able to save the day and advance the cause of Gun Control.

Think I'll watch something else ...

The original book was about big, evil tobacco companies but the producers decided that had already been done (see "The Insider") so they switched it to big, evil gun manufacturers. I'm guessing the sequels (if anybody pays money to see this wretch) will be about big, evil oil companies and big, evil HMOs.

It's even worse when you consider that the novel, by John Grisham, was about a tobacco company lawsuit.

They deliberately changed it. Funny, how that happened as the issue of gun manufacturer lawsuit immunity is just now coming up for a vote.

That's a much better reason for not giving them your money than one (or more) of the actors being a political doofus.

Actually it comes off making everyone look equally bad. Everyone cheats, everyone schemes... and basically, it made the point that people only vote liberal when they listen to their heart instead of rational thought.

It wasn't too bad...
