  4. In the new film directed by David Dobkin actor Downey Jr. played a successful lawyer Hank Palmer of New York. He takes on the case, not paying attention to morality, and many of them wins. This helps him acumen, charisma, sense of humor and an absolute unwillingness to moralize. Because of his mother's death, our hero is forced for some time to return to the city where he was born. This is a small town located in the state of Indiana. On arrival here revealed that a lawyer who easily dealt with its opponents in the courtroom, in reality, not able to establish a relationship with his own father - still a judge Joseph Palmer (Robert Duvall). Of course, our hero wants to quickly get away from the unpleasant situation and return to the city of New York, but then his father is accused of having killed a mother of Hank. The lawyer does not want to believe it, even though he knew that his father was a rather complicated, strange, despotic and sometimes moronic people. He began himself to investigate this difficult matter. The situation is complicated because of the fact that Joseph was discovered by Alzheimer's disease, in which people do not understand what they do and do not remember what happened to them.
