Review – Legal Eagles

Robert Redford and Deborah Winger are the big draws in this legal caper flick. They play a slick DA and an earnest defense lawyer, respectively, who get caught up in the unusual case of the daughter of a dead artist suspected of trying to steal one of her late father’s paintings. The plot grows ever more convoluted, eventually drawing arson, insurance fraud and murder into the mix. The romance that develops between the Redford and Winger characters is more than a little on the high school side, but despite that it seems to work. Though this movie is little more than a somewhat clever diversion, it does at least manage to be diverting, especially for a movie full of lawyers. Mildly amusing
