The story, the performance of Al Pacino with the interjection of the very close to real depiction of the legal system, makes this movie a classic for all times. One of Pacino's best performances, which in his case not an easy determination, where Pacino has had so many high caliber performances such as the Scent of a Woman, godfather I II and III to name a few.
Great movie with great story plot, great job of directing combined with grade A acting across the board makes this movie a must see.
