...stars to their own considerable resources of charm and mother wit. Redford looks terrific, and has honed his stutter-step diction into a cagey character trait. Winger, unflatteringly photographed, is still the most ingratiating of Oscar-worthy actresses. Neither deserves to be laden with this leaden souffle. Verdict on Legal Eagles: guilty of genre sabotage. Cast dismissed...
