Wel...Thanks Sam for sharing your views on the film. Well, whenever one discusses on Lumet's 2 or 3 best works, The Verdict usually doesn't find a place in it. Yet, despite the middle-of-the-list status that this film has, I found it extremely powerful & quite affecting as well. For me it remains an excellent example of a great performance backed by a superb script.Shubhajithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040495040897333606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-39647194809228572392011-08-27T06:47:30.818+05:302011-08-27T06:47:30.818+05:30On balance I'd have to say I like teh film a b...On balance I'd have to say I like teh film a bit less Shubhajit. I'd say it's mid-range Lumet. Still, my regard for him is considerable, when you factor in 12 ANGRY MEN and THE PAWNBROKER, both masterpieces of teh cinema. I can't really question your examination of the components here in this masterful capsule review, it's just that the end result for me is more middling.Sam Julianonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-81448748469890455992011-08-24T09:34:28.387+05:302011-08-24T09:34:28.387+05:30Thanks Jon.
