Le S The plot goes rather weak at the end, but the real star of the film is its Casting Director. I mean, how cool is to have Jigsaw, and Special Agent Hank Schrader team up against Tom Cruise? Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/20/25 Full Review Chris H A well crafted and intelligent thriller with some interesting ideas. It's a John Grisham tale, so of course it's about lawyers and it's set in the Deep South; nothing wrong with that. There is one howler though; it's simply impossible to believe that Cruise's decent and devoted husband could go off with a random woman he meets on a beach (this is a set up, of course - most things are in this story). He just wouldn't. Anyway, that aside, Cruise does what Cruise does, Gene Hackman is terrific, as is Jeanne Tripplehorn, but Holly Hunter steals the show as the secretary of a private investigator who meets a sticky end, after which she becomes the resourceful confidante of Cruise's lawyer.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/03/24 Full Review Farah R The Firm remains one of Sydney Pollack's best films and an immensely entertaining thriller years later. Tom Cruise gives a stimulating performance in this well-crafted adaptation that draws you in and keeps you glued to your seat from start to finish. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/03/24 Full Review Audience Member My favorite Sidney Pollack film, and one of my favorites from Tom Cruise. The Firm is a smart, suspenseful ride, with no lulls, and is filled with on point performances from several of Hollywood's best, including Holly Hunter and Gene Hackman. Also of note is its musical score. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/24 Full Review Jacob B A worthy adaptation of its source material, The Firm just might be the best John Grisham film I've seen. It's certainly a helluva lot better than The Pelican Brief, which came out the same year. The acting is great, it's suspenseful, it's paced so well that the 2.5-hour-long runtime will just fly by, the score does a good job of setting the mood in each scene without being melodramatic and it remains faithful to the spirit of the book whilst making changes that are for the better, such as our hero being much more sympathetic rather than just being the guy we root for simply because the antagonists are worse than his corrupt ass. A compelling legal thriller that's sure to be a treat for Grisham fans and non-fans alike. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/12/24 Full Review Read all reviews
