First Shoot the Lawyers endearingly memorable characters show the anguish from abusive childhood homes, as they create relationship, and not-so-skillfully mastermind a beautiful, unlawful but just, adventurous future. Opening night in Tucson astonished audience members, as scenes from familiar places gave the drama a close up feel. We rode along on the character's journey, sometimes through a fish eye lens that enhanced the excellent actors' expressions. This is a film that stays, as the messages and delights it holds bubble up long after watching it.
