Rating:  - Class Action Review
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.
Rating: - Solid Film!!!
Sometimes I'm left with the impression that viewers think all films should be award winning material, as though the goal and worth of a film can be judged by the amount of award nominations it generates and brings home.

Rating: - A Great Movie
Gene Hackman has had a wonderful career filled with hit movies. This movie is not as well known as some, but it is very good. It has morality, intrigue, and a surprising but fulfilling ending. I recommend it.
Rating:  - Hollywood wins again (and we get stiffed!!)

The premise suggests the ending - Jed will win the day, but not before his daughter has been transformed into a noble attorney. Jed will fight the good fight (which ... Read More
Rating: - First class film, well acted and with a very good plot.
You've read the Synopsis and the Editorial Review so there's no need to tell you what it is about. Just see it. It is a superb film about father/daughter relationships, honesty, courage, morals and scruples in legal actions. Watch it, it's great.
