Plot: Director Bob Clark, whose previous cinematic endeavors ran the gamut from Porky's to A Christmas Story, called the shots on From the Hip. Fresh out of law school, Robin Weathers (Judd Nelson) is hired by a law firm not known for its ethics. Weathers' first client is a man who, up to trial time, was perfectly willing to cop a plea. Instead, the novice lawyer sharkishly secures a not guilty verdict--not to mention a public reputation as a live wire. His jealous older colleagues decide to get even with Weathers by assigning him a case that cannot possibly be won. Thus it is that Weathers is assigned to defend insufferable murder suspect Douglas Benoit (John Hurt), who refuses to cooperate with his attorney even though he's facing a death sentence. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

We gave away our video tape of this movie, but ordered ourselves the DVD! Good acting, good moral to the story, intense, funny, dramatic, thoughtful. Great movie--we'll never give THIS DVD away!

One of the best legal comedies/thrillers of all time

Fantastic movie. Up there with My Cousin Vinny. Skewers big firm life in humorous fashion, and then turns on a dime to present a compelling criminal legal thriller. A great, underappreciated movie.
