Rating: - Star Chamber Review
The Star Chamber has good acting and fine script, although it's not really a suspenseful film, and its ending is rather abrupt and poor. Overall, it's an interesting and watchable film, particularly for the fans of Hal Holbrook and Michael Douglas--such as myself.
Rating: - What a great movie!
I can't believe I had never even heard of this movie before. I'm enrolled in a college course majoring in legal studies, and this movie was part of a homework assignment. If not for this class, I doubt I ever would have seen it. This was an excellent movie, and I don't understand why it wasn't a bigger hit at the box office.

Maybe the reason has something to do with director Peter Hyams. He has lensed a bunch of films that I end up watching despite their inherent flaws. This guy is responsible for such films as "2010," ... Read More
Rating: - What is justice?
I have long awaited this movie to be released on DVD. A great suspense story that taps into that internal desire to have justice metted out. Would you get it right?
