The Press Reviews
By approaching Marshall as just another idealistic young trial lawyer, the film stands on its own as a compelling courtroom drama, complete with surprising revelations ... Full Review
It's interesting enough, but that's not usually sufficient recommendation to get audiences out to a theatre. Full Review
Like his character, Mr. Boseman is the star of this show, while Mr. Gad is the second banana and often comic relief. Both performers are natural showmen who never step on each other's moment; they're fun to watch. Full Review
While the film is constructed from top to bottom for maximum popular entertainment, it is unwilling to let us leave the theatre without reminding us that these battles are far from over. Full Review
...balances clichés against the far-more interesting subject of unlikely camaraderie that blooms out of mutual persecution. Full Review
Charged by Boseman's dramatic lightning, Marshall gives us an electrifying glimpse of a great man in the making. Full Review
