From the Hip Summary

Genres: Comedy Drama
Rating:
Director Bob_Clark, whose previous cinematic endeavors ran the gamut from Porky's to A_Christmas_Story, called the shots on From the Hip. Fresh out of law school, Robin Weathers (Judd_Nelson) is hired by a law firm not known for its ethics. Weathers' first client is a man who, up to trial time, was perfectly willing to cop a plea. Instead, the novice lawyer sharkishly secures a "not guilty" verdict--not to mention a public reputation as a live wire. His jealous older colleagues decide to get even with Weathers by assigning him a case that cannot possibly be won. Thus it is that Weathers is assigned to defend insufferable murder suspect Douglas Benoit (John_Hurt), who refuses to cooperate with his attorney even though he's facing a death sentence. Hal Erickson, Rovi
