I shouldn't judge a movie based on the book, but it is really hard not to with this movie. They could have done so much better with Grisham's work. This movie was flat and unimaginative. The ending is horrible and so boring, I felt like they were trying not to go over a certain time-limit and just had to end it somehow. Tom Cruise is good, but wasn't given much of a script to work with. Do yourself a favor and read the book.

Doesn't quite hold the same depth and immediacy of the book, but this is still a well-made thriller that is quick-paced and exciting. The slow reveal of the corruption of the law firm especially worked.

I loved the book -- in fact it's in my top 5. The movie was pretty good. If you haven't read the book you'll probably like it more than I did -- it's a great story.

I never got inot John Grisham's books, and I never found myself particularly interested in the films based of them either. The Firm is a decent enough thriller with a few nice twists and turns, but it never hits much of a stride.
