“The Burial” is a long-winded, formulaic, feel-good courtroom drama. But the mega-watt magnetism of its leading man makes it an improbably rewarding watch.

As a brash personal injury lawyer tasked with leading a contract-law case on behalf of a working-class funeral home director, Foxx shines blindingly bright, his swagger and sense of humor overwhelming everyone and everything in his vicinity. It’s as appealing a turn as the Oscar-winning actor has given, and it does much to elevate this inspired-by-real events tale of unlikely alliances and an even more improbable victory.
O’Keefe is an old-school businessman who loves his wife Annette and his enormous brood , the latter of whom he intends to bequeath his family deathcare empire, which he inherited from his own father following his decorated WWII service. O’Keefe is made aware of Gary by his son’s friend Hal Dockins , a junior lawyer who shows him a VHS recording of Gary’sepisode that highlights his opulent mansion and private jet.
