Gary Oldman, hot off his success in Sid and Nancy and Prick Up Your Ears, went Hollywood with this stenciled thriller, which came minus many thrills. The most impressive thing about it is his American accent. Otherwise, there's not much to recommend this Martin Campbell film. Oldman plays a hotshot defense attorney in Boston who, in a highly publicized case, gets rich playboy Kevin Bacon acquitted of murder--only to realize afterward that Bacon is not just guilty, but a serial killer who has gone on a spree again. So the lawyer takes the law into his own hands and finds himself overmatched in a battle of wits with the murderer. But then, this whole movie is overmatched in the wits department. --Marshall Fine

Criminal Law is a classic. This is a great film to watch. Gary Oldman is great! Kevin Bacon is awesome! This film deals with some serious subject matter, but if you can get thru that then you won't be disappointed. I've read some other reviews on this film (not all good). But films are for our entertainment, and I was entertained!

I had this on VHS for years so you can imagine I'm thrilled to have it available on DVD now. I know a number of people that enjoy this movie. Any critic that thinks this movie lacks wit is criminally insane. This is a fine thriller with Gary Oldman and Kevin Bacon turning in excellent performances. When a Boston attorney, played by Oldman realizes he has got his client off a murder charge when he was guilty, he tries to figure out away to make retribution. But the killer, played by Bacon, isn't going ... Read More

Oldman is the real focus of this movie for me, this must be an early film of his and he's as good in this role as he is as a more mature actor. I find him able to handle any role or character type that comes his way.
Kevin Bacon is OK as the twisted son of a mother who does threapeutic abortions (pro- lifers this is not an arguement pro or con just a description of the character his mother portrays).
The premise is set up pretty good and the finale' is an ironic twist that helps give ... Read More

Interesting analysis of morality. Kevin Bacon plays a man whose sense of right is so out of touch with society that he may be a criminal. If you look past some of the classic Joe Don Baker dialogue ("Son, in all my years of police work, I've learned one thing: a crazy killer is crazy. And he will kill you.") you might just see an interesting portrait of a people who are willing to pay the consequences of their actions in order to do what they consider the right thing.
IF I remember correctly, ... Read More

This movie review is based on the Laser Disc, not the DVD. Seeing how this is not available on DVD, and not even being sold by outside sellers tells me that they may never have released it on this format. That, based on my memory of the quality of the Laser Disc release, does not surprise me in the least.
I had this movie on Laser Disc purchased for me by an ex-girlfriend, and definitely shows to me her lack of fortitude in choosing movies based on their quality. But, who am I to look a gift horse ... Read More
