A Good Movie
I just happened to come across this movie by accident and I'm glad I found it. The wife and I both really enjoyed it. It was a light hearted and fun. It was a movie the entire family could enjoy. I could not wait for the showdown that you knew was coming at the end.
Overall the wife and I gave it two thumbs up. A very enjoyable movie.
Neverending music
It's not really that bad of a movie except for the music that plays in the background 98% of the time.
Cheesy and predictable
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.
Why?
The idea was good enough but why the stupid music throughout? I didn't know if I was watching a western comedy or what. Then, the one liners and corny jokes were over the top. Why can't we just have a good PG movie that isn't cheesy??
Enjoyable light entertainment
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.

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.
