The Verdict is one of the finest films ever done by Sidney Lumet. It also features a controled and low key performance by Paul Newman. The screenplay is the best part about the rich because of the richness in characters and certain scenes brought on by David Mamet's fastpast writing. As far as screenplays go The Verdict(1982), Glengarry Glenross(1992), and The Untouchables(1987) are Mamet's best.
