(In the trailer you hear a woman yelling this at an attacker in this really funny deliver.) "What are ya doin?!"


The Verdict (1982)
8/10

Paul Newman plays a lawyer who got hurt trying to do the right thing, lost his wife and became a drinker. His buddy gives him a money making case, where a woman is left in a vegetative state because an operation went wrong. The hospital is owned by the RC and offer them a medium-low settlement, but seeing the patient encourages him to fight for justice instead of a payout. I thought this was pretty good, but not as intense as I was expecting; especially the in court scenes were a bit reserved compared to some other great court films. This was nominated for a lot of awards, but I wouldn't consider this a top 10 courtroom dramas.
