Keine Schulausbildung, zweimal geschieden, drei kleine Kinder. Nur widerwillig gibt der abgebrühte Anwalt Masry der Lady mit der großen Klappe und den schlechten Manieren einen Job als Aushilfe in seiner Kanzlei. Um sich die Furie vom Leib zu halten, beschäftigt Masry die nervige Erin mit dem wegsortieren unbedeutender Kleinfälle. Er kann nicht ahnen, daß sie dabei auf eine Akte stößt, die den Stein für den spektakulärsten und größten Schadenersatzprozess aller Zeiten ins Rollen bringt - und Erin Brockovich seine treibende Kraft wird...

Soderbergh sometimes knows how and sometimes annoys terribly. And a personal story of a woman in contemporary society simply could not end differently than with the second case. When Julia Roberts plays effort, she plays determination and plays a deservedly successful one, it can turn out in a way that I don't believe her even a bit. Not a single bit of genuine emotion drips from any of the present actors, and Soderbergh constantly disregards the viewer who wants to see the promised drama. However, he subtly flatters all critics of society (disgustingly opportunistic public vs. freedom and family values). Americans are sometimes fooled only by a change of curtain.

I thought that it would be Julia who would be the most interesting thing in the film, but she wasn't. In fact, she didn't suit the role. I thought she was a little too Hollywood for what she was playing, but oh well. Albert Finney intrigued me more, as did the story, which is one of those examples that sometimes justice does prevail, at least a little. Or at least about people getting money, if not life.
