Movie reviews: The Judge, The Best of Me and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
The Judge (15A) stars Robert Downey Jnr as Hank Palmer, a brash defence lawyer who is, in his own words, ‘not in awe of the law, not encumbered by it’. Hank’s cynicism about the legal system — and life itself — is severely tested when he returns to his small Indiana hometown for his mother’s funeral, and subsequently finds himself defending his father, the respected judge Joseph (Robert Duvall), against a charge of premeditated murder, when the judge is accused of a deliberate hit-and-run perpetrated against a man he once sent to prison.
