Nice people-vs-The Man drama

Rating: 8/10 (8 April 2000)

We've seen it all before in one way or another, but this is a nice entry in the little-guy-triumphs genre. Julie Roberts stars as paralegal who establishes solid toxic tort case for residents near power plant, but Albert Finney shines as the somewhat reluctant attorney who she works with. Hard to tell what in the story really happened, and what has been Hollywood-ized, but interesting nonetheless.
