Lets start with the story. Its about a white dude who owned 9 funeral homes, made a bad investment and when his business was about to go under made a deal with a corporation but the contract was never signed by said corporation and he sued them out of sheer desperation of going bankrupt. It is meant to be a David vs Goliath story but the story and characters just aren't interesting enough. They threw in women, black peoples rights etc but it still didn't make me feel anything for the main character. Every two minutes family was brought up, that family was everything and he didn't have anything to leave his family but that was due to his OWN bad judgments and investments. Why should someone else pay for it? The acting is OK, Fox is over the top as usual and Tommy Lee Jones just sits with the same stern expression on his face throughout. All in all the story just isn't good enough to make a movie about and they just added random drama for the sake of it, played it by all the usual numbers but in the end I didn't feel anything at all for either of them and spent the last 30 minutes fast forwarding through it.
