Movie Review: The Judge (2014) | Robert Downey, Jr. and Robert Duvall (Reblog)

No matter what the title of the film is if you say the name of Robert Duvall, that makes my “Movies to Watch” list. It would be hard for this movie, The Judge(2014) to be bad (my opinion) since it has two powerhouse actors, both named Robert. 

Robert Downey Jr. of Iron Man and Sherlock Holmes fame won me over with his portrayal of Charlie Chaplin.


Robert Duvall should be introduced as "The One and Only" or "The Incomparable".  If he were British, we'd probably be calling Sir Robert Duvall.  Mr. Duvall has been one of my favorite actors ever since “To Kill a Mockingbird”.  He wasn't the leading star in that movie either!  Gregory Peck may have won the Academy Award for "Best Actor" but Duvall's character was memorable and his performance was unforgettable. 



Very happy to share the link to a movie review of "The Judge" by Cynthia Sylvestermouse.  

She begins her post by stating:  "Rarely do I go to the theater to see a movie and come away feeling like I actually saw a movie worth viewing. It is especially rare for both my husband and myself to equally rave over a movie. ..."

In other words ... That was a gooooood movie!



Downey may have been given the top billing in this movie, but in my opinion, Duvall is the man!  :)
