The main focus was on the interaction between the father, Robert Duvall, and his son, Robert Downey, Jr. These excellent actors were riveting as they showed us a picture a family struggling with death, illness, conflict, etc. Robert Downey Jr. brings the right amount of sarcasm, humor and pathos to the role of the son - a fascinating character study. Highly recommend it for the acting, both of the 2 main characters and the supporting cast, and for a well-told story.

Plot: Big city lawyer Hank Palmer returns to his childhood home where his father, the town's judge, is suspected of murder. Hank sets out to discover the truth and, along the way, reconnects with his estranged family. A solid performace by both Downey and Duvall. I have to hand it to Duvall, he is willing to play the hard parts as he gets older. Not pretty to look at anymore, he does not shy away from the camera. A solid 4.5 stars from me. Director: David Dobkin Writers: Nick Schenk (screenplay), Bill Dubuque (screenplay) Stars: Robert Downey Jr., Robert Duvall, Vera Farmiga
I thourghly enjoyed this movie . I would definitely recommend this movie to my friends. The movie had good actors, and a real story line that was down to earth. Anyone who ever was in a position to take care of an elderly parent, can certainly appreciate this movie. I will be watching this movie again, as it has been added to my collection of favorite movies. It was a tear jerker, and very true to life. It had an excellent story line that many people could relate to. It really makes you stop and think about how hard it can be at times when a loved one gets older.
Very good dramatic storyline. Several layers to this familial drama with strong characters and interesting twists but easy to follow. Excellently played. Again, performances by Downey & Duvall are top-notch.
