Watching right now on showtime


This movie probably been good to ok if Judd Nelson wasn't the lawyer.

Who would you have cast in the role?

@Isaac5855 There were times when Judd Nelson reminded me of another actor - especially after he hung up the phone after making that loud fake phone call. Then it hit me - Robert Downey Jr.

Nelson was trying to act charming, but usually he came across like a smug douche. A young RDJ would've pulled it off and made Stormy Weathers a far more likable character. The movie would still be pretty bad though.
