ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES OF THE DECADE!!!

Rating: 10/10 (5 February 2003)

When I first heard about this movie and how everybody thought Julia Roberts was great and it had a good plot, I didn't really want to see it. I don't know why but most movies that are up for the Oscars I don't care for. But this movie was absolutely awesome!!! Julia Roberts played her role very well. Albert Finney (the first time I've seen him in a movie) also done very well. The plot (a true story) was about a woman with 3 children, not much money, and no job. She finally gets a job with her lawyer (Albert Finney) and stumbles over a real-estate case with a family. She's confused about how there are medical files with the case and asks her boss if she can research it more. She soon discovers a whole town as been contaminated with poisonous water from a gas and electric plant not too far away. The case finally becomes a lawsuit that turns out to be the biggest direct-action lawsuit in United States history. The acting is great. The plot is good. And it has unconditional drama.
I give it an "A+"
