With outstanding performances by Gene Hackman and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio as the embattled father and daughter, the film is a remarkably mature treatment of conflict in a family whose members are fully involved in the problems of our times. [15 Mar 1991]
Apted gives this smarter-than-average script a slick look and expertly develops suspense.
The screenplay by Carolyn Shelby, Christopher Ames and Samantha Shad contains dialogue scenes so well-heard and written it's hard to believe this is a Hollywood movie, with Hollywood's tendency to have characters underline every emotion so the audience won't have to listen so carefully.
The work of Hackman and Mastrantonio keeps the action afloat and more credible than it deserves to be.
Gene Hackman is excellent when he isn't overdoing his patented nice-guy routine.
The political correctness of Class Action verwhelms its sense of life. It turns into just another movie. [15 Mar 1991]
Its squandering of talent makes Class Action a film that deserves to be disbarred, not reviewed. [15 Mar 1991]
