The ambitious "Roman J. Israel, Esq." has a fantastic Denzel Washington performance, but it's missing focus.

I liked it a lot! The performances by Denzel Washington and Colin Farrell were satisfying. I also think that it has a decent script with good story running. But what really stood out for me was the editing and scoring. I feel like these two elements were perfectly executed in the film. My only concern was, overall, the impact of the film was very minimal.

Nice to see Denzel playing somewhat against type, but the movie overall didn't live up to its potential. It had the promise of a good courtroom drama, but the hero never gets to go to court, and in the end it slips into hokey, sentimental melodrama. Plus the plot is riddled with goofy implausibilities. But Denzel's performance remains dignified throughout.
