A compelling film about how, within a system rotten at its core, true justice for the weakest almost never exists, even though they are the very people that system relies upon.
Rudy is essentially the perfect hero: humble, talented, genuinely kind, wise, empathetic, and extremely capable, yet none of those qualities are enough to overcome the greed of the insurance company on their own.
It is only through Deck, cunning and equipped with the sort of experience Rudy lacks, together with the sheer luck of finding a judge sympathetic to their case, that they manage to win, at least in court.
And even then, it is not really a true victory, because the corrupt system itself remains untouched; the only thing they achieve is giving some measure of relief to the victims.
