Histoire
Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesJerry O'Keefe was a Marine pilot in World War II. He shot down five Japanese planes in one day on April 22, 1945, becoming an ace in one day. He shot down two more on April 28, 1945. He was awarded the Navy Cross and the Distinguished Flying Cross.
- GaffesWhen Jerry goes to Willie's mother's home to meet with him, Willie's mother mentions to Jerry that Willie is "one of 11 siblings." Jerry responds, telling her "I have 13 children of my own." To which Willie quips "Y'all have 26 kids between you." Of course, 13 plus 11 --- as per the released version of the film --- equals 24, not 26.

Based on a true story (aren't they all). A funeral home director, O keefe played by TLJ feels hard done by an investor who wishes to run the business to the ground after a supposedly contract deal.
Jamie fox plays the hot shot lawyer trying to recover the damages. This bit I didn't understand as to why exactly they were taking the investor to court.
The film was dull, I mean really dull. With implausibility and cliches circling like a poltergeist haunting nothing was capturing my attention. Everything was predictable, zero surprises. The opposition lawyer, Mame, supposedly a super-lawyer who had never lost a case was a complete amateur.
The production standard is quite good and tongue in cheek performance by Jamie Fox gives a few chuckles but that's about it.
One to avoid. In fact movie standards have crashed in the last 20 years and this film bears all the hallmarks.
