Robert Downey Jr. Confronts His Daddy Issues In ‘The Judge’ Trailer

“I’ll never come back here again,” Robert Downey, Jr. snaps to his father, Robert Duvall, as he leaves home in the brand new trailer for “The Judge.”

However, the rest of the trailer highly suggests that this is far from true — in fact, “The Judge” seems to be another tale of a successful grown man returning home to confront his childhood demons (his father, mostly) and thus complete his journey to manhood. The main difference is that this coming-home tale involves a murder trial, specifically the one in which Duvall’s character, a judge, is the accused. Downey chooses to defend him after attending his mother’s funeral, and a whole lot of emotions ensue.

“The Judge” hits theaters on October 10, 2014.
