Our suggestions
Inspired by true events, when a handshake deal goes sour, funeral home owner Jeremiah O'Keefe enlists charismatic, smooth-talking attorney Willie E. Gary to save his family business. Tempers flare and laughter ensues as the unlikely pair bond while exposing corporate corruption and racial injustice in this inspirational, triumphant story.
"An inspiring movie based on true events, in this case, the lawsuit of Jeremiah Joseph O'Keefe and his lawyer, Willie E. Gary, against the Loewe funeral corporation over a contractual dispute. With performances by Tommy Lee Jones as O'Keefe and Jamie Foxx as Gary, "The Burial" is a conventional legal drama that doesn't reinvent the wheel but tells its story effectively and is spiced up with Foxx's charismatic acting. If you enjoy inspirational films based on real legal cases of David versus Goliath (like "Erin Brockovich"), you're sure to enjoy it."
