Rating: 4 stars
Summary: good movie
Review: this movie could have been better. like near the end when Tom Cruise confronted Paul Sorvino about the evidence. In reality he would have been kidnapped and killed. No way Tom Cruise would have walked out that office alive. The movie changed a few things from the book version. Otherwise it was a good movie.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Very Good - if you want to SLEEP
Review: This movie is absolutely boring. So, save the money and buy a better one

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Professioanl handling improves upon a hohum book
Review: This was the biggest movie going when it came out; now, no one remembers it as anything other than the first John Grisham movie. Setting the standard for the modern legal thriller, the firm impresses us with the way that Tom Cruise exerts superhuman effort in order to excel enough to graduate top of his class. But the firm which hires him with an offer that's too good to refuse eventually turns out to have some ulterior motives, and Cruise finds himself having to apply his superior morals to the situation, which finds him in conflict with some not-very-nice people, headed by Wilford Brimley. This works as a thriller, and I actually thought that the actors and filmmakers brought more humanity to the characters than the book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE FIRM
Review: Tom Cruise delivers the most electrifying performance of his career in this riveting film based on the international bestseller.

Criuse plays Mitch McDeere, a brilliant and ambitious Harvard Law grad. Driven by a fierce desire to bury his working -class past, Mitch joins a small, prosperous Memphis firm that affords Mitch and his wife an affluent lifestyle beyond their wildest dreams.

But when FBI agents confront him with eveidence of corruption and murder within the firm, Mitch sets out to find the truth in a deadly crossfire between the FBI, the Mob, and a force that will stop at nothing to protect its interests - THE FIRM.

Directed by Oscar winner Sydney Pollack and starring Oscar winner Gene Hackman plus a magnificent supporting cast, THE FIRM makes its case as the must - see movie of the year.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I loved the movie. I loved the book. Thats all there is.
Review: Tom Cruise is a gorgeous man and is perfect for the role of a fresh-out-of-law-school Memphis lawyer. The book was captivating, I took it everywhere with me. The movie was amazing. John Grisham is a master.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: An imperfect but generally good thriller
Review: Tom Cruise plays another slick, humorous, all-American man and as usual is well cast. The story tells of his signing onto a law firm and finding out that it isn't all it's cracked up to be, with corruption, murders, and all the other juicy stuff thrown in. Starts off very well but is still a little too talky and overlong. The cliches are plentiful and the ending is predictable, though pretty good near two-and-a-half hours of entertainment.

Rating: 4 stars
