Robert Duvall died February 15. He's as good as always in this as a world-weary lawyer who's seen it all before and knows how to win. In fact that's the problem with this film - unlike something like Erin Brockovich, the case defeats them and literally leaves all the partners bankrupt. Who are: John Travolta, Tony Shaloub, William H Macy and Zeljko Ivanek.
But it's another seriously staggering piece of work from 'every frame' Conrad Hall, whose pools of light are just mesmerizing. But it's also the way the cinematography enhances the story - the way water and water in glasses is shot. He and Duvall were Oscar nominated.
Also with Bruce Norris ('Cheeseman'), John Lithgow, Kathleen Quinlan, James Gandolfini, Stephen Fry (a non part really - he just disappears) and Dan Hedaya. And Sydney Pollack.
