Weak Action

Posted : 3 years ago at Nov 23 15:53

Slick big city lawyer Jan Schlichtmann (John Travolta) takes on an environmental case that leads him down the path of career suicide. This drama has an all to real feeling, but it wasn't a story that holds enough interest to warrant a good review.

Rating : 5/10
