Keen film viewers know that any title which receives a BOMB rating in Leonard Maltin's Movie and Video Guide must be at least worth a look. Such is the honour bestowed upon this curious mixture of courtroom thriller and wild-and-crazy teen movie. Director Bob Clark (Porky's, 1981) achieves a rare frisson from the pairing of cocky lawyer Judd Nelson and ambiguous villain John Hurt – and from the lightning alternation of comedy and drama. © Adrian Martin 1989 |
