Critics Consensus: Solidly cast and beautifully filmed but thoroughly clichéd, The Judge seems destined to preside over a large jurisdiction of the basic cable afternoon-viewing circuit.

Reviews

Deep Focus Review

Brian Eggert

The familiarity of the story hurts what is Dobkin's otherwise pleasantly sincere and straightforward direction, and a number of fine performances.

Dan Brightmore

Robert Duvall gives a startlingly visceral performance in Robert Downey Jr's courtroom drama.

FULL REVIEW

Richard Crouse

The hardest working movie in show business. It's a film that wants to check all the boxes and tries just a little too hard.

The supporting cast is a stellar assemblage of character actors, each offering a level of entertainment to compensate for lingering moments of overly sentimental reminiscence.

It vacillates between middlebrow familial melodrama, murder mystery, and half-baked courtroom drama.
