Movie #26 of 2017:
The Judge (2014)
The cast is good (especially if you’ve been dying to see Marvel’s Iron Man and Kingpin as brothers), and they act their hearts out, but the writing completely fails to live up to their performances. My dad has seen this movie a few times and was really excited to watch it with us, but it was pretty bad. I’m keeping most of my criticism to myself to spare his feelings — both here and out-loud — but it’s got a 42% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes for a reason.
