Good old western style movie set in modern times. Lots of action & actors were awesome. Gives you hope that there are still good guys out there. My wife and I loved it. Great movie!
Loved this movie. It's true this appeared to be pilot for a weekly show. We want to see more of these same characters. This laid out the premise for a good old boy lawyer going after he bad guys. Need to keep his sidekick PI and his bad ass wife, too! Please make more of these! And it was PG so the whole family could see it.
This is a great movie for light family viewing. I saw the neutral and negative comments but I decided to give it a try and I don't regret it. It's not an Oscar winner nor an art-house flick. But if you want an easy escape for an evening, you won't go wrong with this. It's like a very good made-for-tv movie and I will recommend it to my friends. Thanks for the hard work from all the cast and crew. You did your job by entertaining us for a couple hours.
What is strange about this movie is the never ending sound track. The music plays in the background throughout the entire movie. It's corny and, after awhile, very distracting. The camera shots and scene editing often don't make sense. There are random camera angles and shots added that don't relate to the plot. The writing and character lines are like something written in high school with cheesy one liners and winks. Literal winks. I agree with some of the other reviews that this movie is more like a long pilot for a low budget sitcom. The plot is predictable. So is the ending. I don't recommend this movie.
It's not really that bad of a movie except for the music that plays in the background 98% of the time.

County Line (2017) came out the year before Legal Action (2018) and Brent Christy, the director of Legal Action, was the director of photography for County Line and the director for the two sequels County Line: All In (2022) and County Line: No Fear (2022).
- GoofsWhen Judge Thorne orders that testimony be stricken from the record, the court reporter is shown with a pen crossing out the testimony on her paper. This is not an accurate depiction of how a record is stricken. Stricken testimony remains in the record but it can't be referenced for evidence or legal arguments.
