Truly Dreadful Film

The greatest movie ever made..!

Nice effects though.

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Chicago Justice was my favorite show until it was cancelled by NBC due to low ratings.

The last show was about a Trump-like real estate developer and his son and daughter who run a major real estate empire. They purposely sabotaged a huge crane to stop work on a high rise and collect the insurance for the delay. In the process the son-in-law is killed and he patriarch passes it off as the cost of doing business. The whole mess was such a desperate anti-Trump diatribe that we were deeply offended. We have largely enjoyed the other three Chicago shows, even though they have gotten too much into Liberal messaging at times, but this one was obviously written by the "Resist" idiots. Dick Wolf can do without us in the audience for any of his shows in the future.

I would like to see TPTB rework this show to make it watchable. I love the other three shows in the One Chicago series and I really wanted to love this newest addition to the franchise. Chicago Fire first got me hooked and then I started watching Chicago PD. Chicago Med probably has the best performances of all, but Chicago Justice has left me wondering who thought THIS would be a good idea. It is not cerebral. It is not emotionally stimulating. The characters are unsympathetic. The dialogue is stilted, clichéd and poorly delivered. I have seen all of the actors in other roles and, for the most part they are better than what we see in this. Jon Seda and Joelle Carter were terrific in previous series, but I can't seem to care about them in this. Carl Weathers really needs to take some acting lessons before he attempts another role. I think the writers or the director must have a problem with Monica Barbaro or why else would they give her nothing but throw-away lines in every episode. Philip Winchester is about as wooden as any actor I can remember. After the colossal failure of Player, why would anyone think he could handle the starring role of a dramatic series.

Dick Wolf expands his Chicago universe. Mark Jefferies (Carl Weathers) is the State's Attorney. Peter Stone (Philip Winchester) and Anna Valdez (Monica Barbaro) are ASA's. Antonio Dawson (Jon Seda) and Laura Nagel (Joelle Carter) are investigators for the office.Wolf ties this in with his other Chicago shows but it's the least compelling of them. This is basically Law & Order redux. There is even a direct connection to the original show. If he's going to do that, he should have brought back one of the old actors to do a cameo. I'm not sure returning to the old standard adds anything compelling. It's the same old formula with even more impossibly-beautiful people and none of them are good rooting interest. I'm surprised that NBC canceled it but sometimes an overgrown plant needs to be trimmed.
