Pesonally I feel that the movie A Civil Action was a rather intriguing and insperational film. I enjoyed the fact that Jan and his associates go insane over the case. I very much disliked the fact that Jan Schlictman loses the industry behind the tannery. Fatcher was a butthole! He was a degenerate immoral excuse for human life. Doing absolutely whatever it takes to win the case no matter how absent minded and senial he may be, he is a deceitful and manipulative person. But not a person more of a morlock or in other words a sewer-urchin. The absolute bottom, lower than a scerpents belly this man deserves no recognition or acknowledgement.
