The Client

Summary: MOVED TOO SLOW AND BECAME RATHER PROLONGING
Review: THE NOVEL `THE CLIENT WAS A SUPERB EXERCISE IN WELL CRAFTED SUSPENSE AND EMOTIONAL TENSION BUT WHEN TRANSLATED INTO FILM IT LOST ALL THE IMPACT IT HAD FROM THE NOVEL. MARK, A TROUBLESOME 8 YEAR OLD BOY AND HIS LITTLE BROTHER FALL WITNESS TO A SUICIDE OF AN UNSTABLE MAFIA LAWYER AND IS SOON TARGETED BY THE MAFIA AND THE FBI THINKING HE KNOWS SOMETHING DANGEROUS. SUSAN SARRANDON IS COMPENTANT IN HER ROLE AS THE TOUGH TALKING LAWYER WHO DEFENDS MARK AND DELVEOPS A FRIENDSHIP WITH THE BOY BUT IT`S TOMMY LEE JONES WHO PRATICALLY CARRIES THE FILM AS THE PUBLICTY STARVED D.A WHO WANTS TO GET A HOLD OF MARK AND FIND OUT WHAT HE KNOWS. WITHOUT TOMMY LEE JONES THE FILM WOULD OF BEEN A TOTAL DUD. BRAD RENFO DID A GOOD JOB FOR ABOUT THE FIRST 35 MINUTES OF THE FILM BUT THEN BECAME ANNYONING AND I FELT LESS SORRY FOR HIS CHRACTER. ONE REVEALING MISTAKE I FOUND IN THIS FILM IS YOU SAW THE HOSE GO INTO THE TAILPIPE OF THE CAR WHEN THE LAWYER TRIES TO COMMIT SUICIDE BUT IN THE NEXT SCENE YOU SEE IT`S NOT THERE KIND OF HARD TO COMMIT SUICIDE THAT WAY. THE ENDING WAS PHONY AND FAILED TO MAKE AN IMPACT. MAJOR PROBLEM OF THE FILM WAS IT`S DURATION WASTING TOO MUCH TIME ON WEAK SUB PLOTS THAT MADE THE STORY LOSES IT`S EDGE.

Review: I rented this movie as a helpful addative to a school project. I found that the movie was awesome, yet the producers totally messed up the end. I love how the book ended, and i was looking forward the the ending, but it came and went. If you liked the book, you will love the movie.

Summary: Good legal thriller
Review: This is probably my favorite Grisham movie---the story never gets boring. Susan Sarandon sizzles as the attorney, Reggie Love. And Brad Renfro (Mark Sway) was fantastic as well; you have to realize this was his very first movie role.

Summary: Academic, dry, boring
Review: Well, Grisham's book are being filmed more often than he changes his socks, so it's quite clear that the quality of films is changeful. This film is actually pretty high quality film to be honest. Susan Sarandon and Tommy Lee Jones offer their bassic quality performances, and the surroundings are high quality. But, the movie is lacking something that would make it truely likeable: SOUL. Without soul it turns out to be an academic boredom such as here. Now, it is just a straight filmation of the book, and there aren't much space to variate to make it watchable. You see, entertaining to read doesn't necessarily mean it's entertainig - or at least rewarding - to watch.

Summary: Great film; full of suspense and tension.

Summary: Outstanding!
Review: I didn't even care what happened to the kid! I just wanted to see Tommy Lee Jones plant a big smacking kiss on Susan Sarandon. Loved the chemistry between them! It's a shame there wasn't a romantic relationship betweent those two! What a fiery relationship that could have been between two fiery personalities!

Summary: The best movie we ever have seen on this world
Review: This is the greatest film ever. Words can no longer describe this film's greatness. ....SIMPLY THE GREATEST MOVIE EVER! I loved this film so much, that I'm pretending to read the book from John Grisham, but I'm worried the book isn't so worth than the movie. So we could recomment this movie to everyone. This movie is better than sex!

Summary: The Client
Review: The Client is one of the best films of the decade. It's a good film because the acturs are very well-known. The film is very suspense-packed. It's very good, when in a film, a little boy clears a case. The viewer sees the film in an other position. They intentify with the actors. That's the recipe of every film and you have made it.
