The formative years of Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall encapsulated into a trial that took place while he was traveling the country as a NAACP defense attorney. Unfortunately, the trial itself seems like a cinematic retread of others – most notably, the trial at the heart of TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, right down to some of its dialogue. And I find it difficult to take Josh Gad seriously, so there’s that. James Cromwell reprises his grumpy man role, this time while wearing judge’s robes. Chadwick Boseman is noble as Marshall.
