Would love to buy this blast from my pastI wholehearted agree with my fellow fans, I loved this movie when it was released and available for viewing on HBO - probably 30 years ago. At the time, the only option you had of reliving the memories of wholesome entertainment was to buy VHS and hope your player did not eat the tape. Alas, such was not the case and the story was lost unless you were forturnate to catch mutilated versions on late night cable television. I would be more than happy as a loyal patron to purchase many of the movies that are listed on this site but if you can only rent, you leave me no choice but to order a copy elsewhere and lug around my laptop or another media device to store them on. I currently do have another multimedia device devoted to movies that I cannot find on ITunes or does not offer digital copies to download. At the time the cost would have been better spent purchasing ITunes offerings but again, alas it was not to be so. Please reconsider your practice and allow us to purchase items that you offer or at least offer an explanation why the offering can only be rented. Work with us ITunes..Tippy1058Score: 5/5
True Believer - An Excellent Movie!!!I am usually very happy with ITunes, but when you only give your customers a chance to rent and not purchase movies, it makes me feel like you are only trying to get us to spend more money....because what am I suppose to do, rent this movie every time I want to watch it???? Please.....If you are going to make a movie available to us, make sure that you give US the opportunity to choose whether we want to rent or to buy!!.Stephanie916Score: 5/5

Español Eddie Dodd, un antiguo activista y comprometido abogado de prestigio, se ha transformado en un cínico y pasivo letrado que defiende a delincuentes comunes. Pero su interés por la verdad y la justicia volverá a renacer al conocer a Roger Baron, un abogado recién licenciado. Baron le pide ayuda para reabrir el caso de un joven coreano que lleva ocho años en la cárcel por un crimen que no cometió.
Français Alors qu'il a passé une grande partie de sa carrière à défendre les libertés civiles et les droits de ces concitoyens, Eddie Dodd, avocat, s'est reconverti dans la défense des dealers de drogue, une cause plus lucrative. Roger Baron, un jeune idéaliste qui admirait la carrière de son aîné rejoint son cabinet pour apprendre le métier auprès de lui. Il le pousse à défendre un jeune coréen condamné à huit ans de prison pour un meurtre qu'il n'aurait peut-être pas commis.
Italiano Eddie Dodd è un avvocato disilluso sul senso della sua professione. Il suo aiutante Roger Baron lo convince a difendere un coreano, Shu Kai Kim. Questi, già in prigione per un omicidio che dice di non aver commesso, è accusato di aver ucciso un altro detenuto. Eddie e Roger, aiutati dalla detective Kitty Greer, trovano le prove dell’innocenza di Shu. Il legale ritrova così l’entusiasmo professionale...
Deutsch Anwalt Eddie traut seinen Ohren nicht: Eine Koreanerin aus New Yorks Chinatown beauftragt ihn mit der Verteidigung ihres Sohnes. Doch der sitzt bereits wegen Mordes ein und hat zudem gerade einen Mithäftling umgebracht. Dennoch sei er “ein guter Junge”, meint die Mama. Nach reiflicher Überlegung übernimmt Eddie den Fall und erreicht schließlich die Wiederaufnahme des Verfahrens. Ein brutaler, schier aussichtsloser Kampf gegen Korruption und Machtmißbrach nimmt seinen Lauf. Denn Eddie hat in ein politisches Wespennest gestochen.

български език В продължение на десет години адвокатът Еди Дод (ДЖЕЙМС УУДС - "Вампирите на Джон Карпентър", "Имало едно време в Америка") е защитавал всеки жалък наркодилър в Ню Йорк. Последното нещо, което е очаквал да му се случи, е да поеме дело за убийство. До този момент... Под натиска на своя ентусиазиран помощник Роджър Бейрън (РОБЪРТ ДАУНИ Мл. - "Чаплин"), Дод поема защитата на младеж, обвинен в тежко престъпление, което не е извършил. Водени от убеждението, че клиентът им е невинен, Дод и Бейрън се впускат в яростна борба за справедливост... срещу цялата правна система на града. Това е битка, която не могат да си позволят да загубят.
Português O assassinato. A condenação. A dissimulação. Agora James Woods vai ter que enfrentar a corrupção e a conspiração nos altos escalões do departamento de justiça de Nova York, neste drama de muita ação. Eddie Dodd (James Woods), um renomado defensor dos direitos civis nos anos 60, agora um cínico amargurado que ganha apenas o suficiente para viver defendendo traficantes de drogas. A paixão de Dodd pela justiça é revivida quando um jovem advogado idealista (Robert Downey Jr.) vai até ele para reabrir o caso de um crime ocorrido há oito anos, cujo jovem prisioneiro cumpre pena em Sing Sing. A frenética busca de Dodd pela verdade acaba levando-o a um angustiante labirinto de inescrupulosos promotores, grupos brancos racistas e policiais corruptos. Será que ele estará pondo a vida em jogo pelas suas crenças? Apoiado em um elenco extraordinário, Justiça Corrupta é um intenso e emocionante suspense que retrata a luta de dois homens pela restauração da justiça.
Dansk Drabet. Dommen. Hemmeligheden. Nu er han parat til at gå i kamp mod korruptionen og sammensværgelser, der lurer i de højeste kredse af New Yorks politi. Eddie Dodd, en advokat, der i 1960'erne var højt respekteret for sin kamp for menneskerettigheder, er nu endt som en forbitret kyniker, der lever af at forsvare narkohandlere og andre småforbrydere. Dodds retfærdighedssans bliver vækket igen, da en idealistisk ung advokat (Robert Downey Jr.) anmoder ham om at genoptage en 8 år gammel mordsag, der drejer sig om en ung livstidsfange i Sing-Sing, der sidder inde for et mord begået under optagelsen i en bande. Dodds intense jagt på sandheden fører ham igennem en nådesløs labyrint af samvittighedsløse anklagere, racistiske voldsgrupper og korrupte strømere. Men er han parat til at sætte sit eget liv på spil i kampen for sine idealer?

Dnes už je však Dodd pouhým stínem bývalého génia, zahořklý narkoman, živící se obhajováním drobných drogových dealerů. Rogerovi se přesto podaří znovu probudit tygra, když ho přiměje, aby vzal zdánlivě ztracený případ Korejce Shu Kai Kima, jenž byl před osmi lety odsouzen za vraždu a nyní je obviněn ze zabití spoluvězně…
