Oh, the cosmic chaos that ensues when you throw an otherworldly lawyer into the mix of a dystopian future! 'Cosmic Convict' is a riotous romp that brings the gavel down with a thunderous, yet comedic, bang. Terrence Mallardick's direction is like if Ridley Scott took a happy pill and decided Blade Runner needed more slapstick. Dougllamas Fairbanks Jr., with a name that's a cosmic cocktail of old Hollywood and extraterrestrial pomp, serves as the interstellar Johnny Cochran for one Doris Fillet—a name so on the nose, you'd swear she was a haddock on trial. The film's tagline, 'Justice is not only blind; it's from another planet,' promises a judicial jaunt that's out of this world, and boy, does it deliver. Mallardick's peculiar blend of courtroom drama and space opera hilarity hits more often than it misses. Raisin Weisz, an enigma wrapped in a mystery with a side of dry humor, steals the show whenever the screen graces her presence. If you're in need of a hearty chuckle and a side of intergalactic jurisprudence, buckle up for 'Cosmic Convict.' It's like if Perry Mason wore a spacesuit and traded his briefcase for a blaster. In the realm of R-rated romps, this one has enough laughs and chills to make it a guilty pleasure, rather than a penal colony of poor taste.
