Peter Strauss is absolutely a wonderful actor. His voice is amazing and dignified. Really love the characters he portrayed. Love you so much Peter.❤❤❤

Peter Strauss is an underrated actor just like Eric Roberts!!

I've enjoyed every movie with Peter Strauss. I think he's great actor.

In my life, I have noticed quiet a lot of PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHAT TRUTH IS: And they don't want to know..... so sad!

All movies with Peter Strauss are great. Interesting. Full of drama. Hes such a good actor. Love the man

Low-key but extremely intense and complex drama of an honorable, responsible, but deeply-conflicted man in a position of moral and legal authority, on trial in his own court, sitting in judgement on himself.

Excellent, superb acting throughout! Thank you!

I watch this movie bcoz of Peter Strauss

It's not possible to 'do the right thing' if what you do is not truthful.

Every time I see Peter Strauss I remember The first time I saw him in rich man poor man always thought he was highly underrated Nick nolte was the one to become a successful movie actor but Peter Strauss should have held a similar position he is wonderful in every movie I have seen him in and this is no exception

What an enormous responsibility rests on the shoulders of a judge. It's so easy to criticize a judgement; so easy to forget that he is a fallible human being. It's not easy to just stand for the truth. That's when it's not an honor any more.

This film is beyond the exceptional and approaches the status of a small masterpiece. The writing alone merits my opinion. I never heard of this film and I cannot say why..

What a shame. But there is a Judge who NEVER lets anyone "go".

Extraordinary movie.intense.everything,dialogue,actors were perfect

Wow I never saw this before. One great movie! Helps us understand the tragedy behind the court system in convicting criminals. It's hard to accept that they have rights........but we have to obey the law.........or change them! ❣️🙏🇺🇲

fan of Peter Strauss, good acting, must see mouvie!❤

Gorgeous man, Mr. Strauss!❤

In the days of burning witches, if one of the citizens called out -'This is wrong' - he or she would be thrown on the fire as a servant of the burning witch. By the standards of the citizens in this narrative, Id say, nothing has changed!!! The Judge in this narrative, made the only and right decision. Unfortunately, in this narrative, a citizen preferred the old testament... "A Eye For An Eye." (" It's A Blind, Blind World. ")

Good movie big fan of Peter Strauss ❤

Great actors and a really emotionally excellent movie. Must watch.

I love Peter Strauss. He did so many movies, and then suddenly vanished.

Too bad there is no more honor in our courts!

I need to add that Melissa Gilbert looked lovely in this movie

Very very interesting, Can judges be bought off. I believe so. Great movie. Thank you

Great movie. Very interesting and Different.

I can’t wait to see how this film ends!

Omg what an ending. 😱

I hate the way he got to pick and chose when he'd exercise integrity. Covered his own butt.

This movie was tailored for peter. No actor would have done justice for a good story.

The law is a two edge double sword..you cant twist it for your own benefit..the judge was right good movie ...😊😊

Wow 54 charges!

Good movie, Don't miss it...

Мне нравятся фильмы с актёром Питером Штраусом, он отличный актёр great movie👍 thanks

They don't have actors like this anymore.

I found This movie excellently acted and portrayed and well written but very disturbing not sure if I could watch it again

Thank you great movie❤

Nice flick good acting.Nonetheless I would never watch it again as the plot is very truthful and extremely upsetting. It depicts the idiotic justice system that is literally blind to the victams’rights ,but very sensitive to the rights of the criminals even though they admitted wrongdoing.

Awesome movie. Thanks for the upload 😊.FRANKLIN NH 1-21-24 HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE ... ...🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉✨️ 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Look at that old world building, notice how small the cars look next to it. Wonder where it is?

2 excellent actors probably a good movie! I’ve never heard of it before!

Considering the depth of feeling this case aroused and knowing before hand he was going to dismiss the charges you would think the judge would have had the forsight to install a metal detector for all those entering the court room. It's pretty obvious one of those parents would have come armed and ready to kill if the murderer was let off on a technicality.

Very good. Thank you

Love Legal movies

Wow this Judge is risking his career! I feel he’s making a mistake!

They had to spend 6 weeks watching this trial. That'd make anyone a zombie

Wow what an ending!!

Très beau film 🎥 ❤❤❤j'adore peter straus il a fait tellement de films que je ne saurait pas dire le quel est le meilleur tous ses films sont magnifiques 😢l acteur est magnifique et en plus il y avait melissa Gilbert qui pour moi est très belle et très grande actrice

Pity that the opening of the movie shows the jury looking like corpses… Are they human or wax work?😊

everybody is in favor of law and order but only when it agrees with them, that's what Faulkner's wife is saying. anyway, I've always liked Peter Strauss and for a really serious actor, he played a scene in Peter Gunn that left me screaming with laughter. See if you can find it. I also like Richard Chaves; it's sad that he left off acting due to a stalker.

was the ending stopped short. I thought he went to the woman at the boat

This film brought out so Many ifs tampered evidence or evidence illegally obtained and the person convicted was actually innocence instead of guilty!!!! Does the end justify the means???

JESUS WEPT MOVIES, PETER STRAUSS,& GREAT MOVIE , THANK YOU !

Great. Thanks ( JW HC)

My how times have changed.

the foolishness of so-called dumb ass juries taken from everyday regular average people when it should be from final year or pass class of lawyers who should be sharpening their chops after studying so hard and long with analytical minds instead bored regular public wanting to get back to their works and marbled brains of their everyday regular life. God knows how many innocent lives got destroyed by this very fact.

Wow a good movie , really makes you touch base with where you stand on which side of that line between right and wrong … there is no middle ground . I know it was tough for me to say where I would stand . Knowing what the criminal did and knowing what the police and other judge did . Yes a tough conclusion I made . Hope that all look at this and found out what and who they are , too .

The cops screwed it up, they were so busy trying to find a killer, that they invented a lot of the evidence, if was on the jury, I might vote him not guilty. A good movie! Love Peter Strauss!

The female prosecutor is overly dramatic. Not suited for the role. Sorry.

Chewing gum with an open mouth is one of my pet hates.... especially when it's an adult.

Standing up to corruption requires lots of courage .when the justice system is corrupt the movie shows that one judge against all odds can make a very big difference Very instruct8ve movie ad sad one too.blackmail goes hand in hand with corruption ad the gullible citizen suffers albeit seemingly rooting for fruits of a poisonous tree

Peter Strauss is carrying this movie. Un-researched manuscripts--about legal issues. Whole movie is about issuance of a warrant re: Parolee. Note at 1:12 witness responds... fabricate issuance of search warrant... Convict is "on parole for child molest"... A parolee does not have any rights to refuse or prevent inspection of his person, quarters, car, possessions, papers, etc.. His employer may (?) about his assigned work station, storage locker...etc. Questions recently arising about school lockers... Ours 5+decades past were known to be subjected to random inspections re: keeping neet. Worst thing we saw was a kids old lunch remains being stored... I.E., no search warrant is required--parolee accepts many issues as part of parole agreement. Detectives commonly contact a parole officer & sometimes want him present... but parolee cannot refuse searches, evade or obstruct searches, in violation of his parole. Neither does he have to be present or told about a search... Will a knowledgeable person clarify!

This a tree has face eyes likes snake. Somehow suited her roles and she acted so well.

Don't know what to say about this movie

Please upload following moves. Gorillas in the mist. Working girl. Haunting of Hill house. Fatal attraction. Blind faith. Dead by sunset

Quite a plodding drama, well-acted but with a predictable ending. It’s OK.

How times have changed. A black women advocating for justice??

🎉

Nice to see Millie Perkin's pretty face

Music .... aggrivating to say the least.

Please upload Gorillas in the Mist

Comment I. You did a great comment

Underrated actors overrated, who cares? They got paid! Many actors see acting as simply a job. Like Robert Mitchum saw acting. It was his livelihood. He made money. Not all actors are seeking laurels and applause.

Too slow for me 🐌

Spoiler alert: @rob, below..

I feel a bit sorry for Melissa Gilbert - try as i might all i see and hear is that little girl from Little House On The Prairie
