Firm, The

USA 1993, 148 minutes
Dir. Sydney Pollack
Rating: [M]
Genres: Suspense/Crime / Courtroom

Feat. Tom Cruise, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Gene Hackman, Hal Holbrook

Aroview: Tom Cruise ain't bad as a prodigal law graduate offered a six-figure salary with a prestigious but corrupt law firm. A reasonable meal is made of John Grisham's pulpy novel which well sustains the complexities of the plot.

3 stars (Good Enough) A decent-enough screen version of a classic Grisham novel, with young Cruise playing the naive law graduate in way over his head. Never thoroughly believable, but there's enough here to carry you through. ~Tom H

3 stars (Good Enough) Solidly enjoyable, everyone plays together well, and that's Dave Grusin giving a masterclass in how to score a movie with just a piano. ~HiFi

2 stars (Good Try) It is way too long even with the quality support casting on show. However, Cruise plays a part that requires him to do some acting for a change so it does contain some light entertainment. ~Tubbs
