Robert Downey Jr has stepped out of the Iron Man suit and into a lawyer’s suit in his new film The Judge. The film follows Downey Jr (playing the lead Hank Palmer), as he makes a trip down memory lane to visit his family in Carlinville, Indiana for personal reasons. At the heart of this family is Hank’s father; Judge Joseph Palmer, played by the legendary Robert Duvall.
