I don't know why - I just find them interesting. This one, featuring Tom Cruise pre-crazy, looked like it showed promise. Heck, about half of it was downright great. But there are a few factors that made it fall far down the list of my preferred movies. Biggest of all was the soundtrack. Ugh, it's terrible, so much so that it started to distract from the film. A solo piano is not good for conveying suspense, unless it's used with a lot of echo in a horror film. If you want to see Tom Cruise play a half-decent lawyer in a much-better film, go see A Few Good Men. This one is too long and too disappointing. (P.S. It does feature Wilford Brimley. It was interesting to see him on my TV without selling diabetes supplies. Sorry, I mean diabet-US supplies) Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

The soundtrack took something away from this flick. Dave Grusin is best utilitzed in the jazz music format or in light-hearted romance/comedy movie fares...not serious dramas. Pay attention to how bizzare Grusin's smooth jazz - ivory-tickling licks contrast w/the seriousness of the various scenes they are matched with...it annoyed the heck out of me.

But I did enjoy this movie. There are not many movies I have seen with Gene Hackman that I have not liked. He is a seasoned actor, star quality. Each character in this movie, you will either love, like or hate, which is meant to be. To me Tom Cruise can play these parts because he is arrogant in real life so these parts are perfect for him. See the movie, you will enjoy it. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More a really good, fast-paced and thoroughly absorbing movie. tom cruise's robotic acting suits this role well because he needed to run a lot. gene hackman showed to be a veteran actor with his usual understated acting. seldomly a movie is anywhere close to the book, especially a good book from a great writer as john grisham, but this one came pretty close. highly recommended!!
