The Client

Rating:
Summary: good film, short story
Review: I don't think that this film is the best, because it's a long film with a very short story. But, I can recommand it. There were very good pictures and good sound. The actors played well, above all the boy as Mark Sway. All in all, it is a good film.

Summary: What I think about THE CLIENT
Review: I had to read and watch the Client at the same time at school. John Grisham is a great author I know. So I thought that this story would be very thrilling. And it was! Well, the book is from "Penguin Readers". This is a short form of the original - too short for me. But the DVD is really good. The actors are famous. Tommy Lee Jones and Susan Sharandon are great and I think they played their roles very well. The only point I didn`t like too much is, like in a lot of other films, the end. It`s too simple. But on the whole it is a great thriller.

Summary: The Client
Review: I think the Client is one of the best stories by John Grisham. The film is very thrilling and interesting, but I find it a pity, that many good scenes are missing on DVD. The actors play their roll very well. So the viewer can sympathize with the persons concerned.

Summary: A thrilling story
Review: I think it`s a thrilling story. First we had to read the book and after that, we saw the DVD. Some scenes are a bit boring. That`s why I gave the DVD only 4 stars! I like to see Tommy Lee Jones as a lawyer. It`s a perfect role for him. And all the other actors did their job really well,too.

Summary: An amazing story and a great movie
Review: This thriller is one of the best Grisham movies I ever saw. In contrast to the book this movie is much more exciting than the book. The stars, Tommy Lee Jones and Susan Surandon are real good actors! Together they harmonize. This movie is really worth watching...

Summary: Not Bad
Review: We watched that film at school and read the booklet from "Penguin Readers". We found the film thrilling, but there are some differences between the booklet and the film and that`s pity. However, the actors were good and the story as well.

Summary: Not a bad thing...
Review: I first watched the film and some months later I read the book. The story is very believable and very intelligent. Also the tensions during the film will never end. But there are so many differences between the book and the film. It's better if you read the book...

Summary: Not the best Grisham book, but the best movie by far
Review: This is by far the best movie based on a Grisham novel. It kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I had not read the book until I had seen the movie a few times, and I think the movie was about as close as you can get. I hate Tommy Lee (Not Pamela's Hubbie), but he was bearable in this movie. This puts "The Firm" to shame. I thik this is a must see, and a must own.

Summary: My best DVD experience
Review: I just loved this film, it was the first I saw on my DVD. Wonderful actors and a good story. One I know I will see many times. But no extras on this DVD! :-((

Rating:
Summary: It was okay. Not great.
Review: I really liked the movie. The thing is, now that I've read the book, I see how much different the two are. Events are at totally different times, the movie has wrong names. If you want the true story of "The Client", read the book.
