| Mine: |
Powerful movie. Really good perfomances all around, with Travolta once again showing that he can be very good (it will take a lot to remove "Battlefield Earth" from my memory).

| Leonard Maltin/Plot synopsis: |
Slick Boston injury lawyer gets in over his head when he takes a case against two industrial giants whose alleged pollution of a river caused the deaths of children in Woburn, Mass. Engrossing, literate, well-observed film (adapted by the director from Jonathan Harr's best-seller) explores the foibles of American justice--and how pride, human frailty, and emotions can affect a case. Based on a true story. Kathy Bates appears unbilled
