Not exactly a nail-biter, but a well-crafted courtroom thriller
July 27, 2002
Works like an above-average TV-flick ... only with better actors.

What I liked best was the way the whole legal case and all of its twists and turns were used to force the Hackman and Mastrantonio characters into learning things about themselves.

Director Michael Apted has taken what could have been a routine courtroom drama and built instead a stunning study of familial love and misunderstanding.

How far we've come! Here, it's still the youngster -- and the woman -- who needs to be put in her place.

Apted gives this smarter-than-average script a slick look and expertly develops suspense.

Two great actors giving two great performances
January 01, 2000
Class Action is one of the rare films that combines a truly affecting family crisis with a good potboiler.

It is the fierce accord between Mastrantonio and Hackman that distinguishes the movie.
January 01, 2000
Managed to take one of the most contrived plots I've ever seen and make it seem, if not original, then at least way above average.
