I really liked this movie. Many critics panned it in their reviews, probably because they are somewhat jaded. Gene Hackman always presents a great performance. Remember Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio in Abyss? She plays Hackman's daughter beautifully, literally and figuratively. I rate this movie B+ and will watch it again for it's entertainment value.
Class Action is an absorbing and intelligent film with excellent performances by Gene Hackman and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio. The tight and intelligent dialog is convincing and there are human emotions throughout the film when required. This is one of the best courtroom dramas ever made, even though one may predict the ending.
