When "The Firm" came out was - believe it or not - the first time that I had ever heard of Tom Cruise (although I didn't see the movie until several years later. And let me tell you, this was a great introduction. Cruise plays novice lawyer Mitch McDeere, who goes to work for a Memphis firm. With this firm, he has everything that anyone could want. But there's the question: why does everything seem so perfect? The answer lies in the firm's unseemly other side. And they're not just going to let Mitch blow their cover.
Sydney Pollack pulled off everything perfectly here. It's sort of like an Ira Levin novel how everything plays out. You may be suspicious of everything after seeing this movie. Above all, it shows that Tom Cruise can actually do a good job when he tries. Also starring Jeanne Tripplehorn, Gene Hackman, Hal Holbrook, Wilford Brimley, Ed Harris, Holly Hunter, David Strathairn and Gary Busey.
It's hard to believe that this was the first movie adaptation of a John Grisham novel.
Tom Cruise had the problem of trying not to be just the pretty boy of Hollywood, and on the whole his dramatic performances thus far clearly indicate he is a talented actor. Matt Damon, for example, has not succeeded even remotely in convincing anybody of anything. However, Cruise has calibre: ever since `The Color of the Money' 1986) with Paul Newman, the first film I can remember seeing him in, he has turned in some excellent dramatic interpretations. Among his most memorable rôles I must mention as well as The Color of Money, Rain Man (1988) as Charlie Babbitt, Born on the Fourth of July (1989) in a very powerful performance as Ron Kovic, A Few Good Men, 1992) also in an inspired rôle as Lieutenant Daniel Alistair Kaffee, The Firm, 1993) as Mitch McDeere, Magnolia (1999) qv) as Frank T.J. Mackey, and I might just tag on his rather overcooked interpretation in Jerry Maguire (1996. And it does not look as if this actor is anywhere near running out of steam; I'm not surprised: Penelope Cruz would inspire anyone to do great things! I have not yet seen `Vanilla Sky. br>
In this case it is a rather naturally gorgeous Jeanne Tripplehorn who helped out in tending the loving hand of wife for Cruise in this well-paced legal thriller, indeed, one of the best of its kind. Perhaps after over two hours my concentration was going down, as I tended to lose track of where everybody was, scene shifts from Memphis to Boston to Chicago to Cayman Islands to New York (have I missed out anywhere? and back to Memphis, punctuated by a quasi-Yul Brynner looking FBI type and Holly Hunter in all sorts of predicaments. But there is no doubting the integrity and coherence of this film as it exposes certain underhand or just illegal operations carried out by a prestigious law company. Well, we already know that in those opulent walnut-lined offices all kinds of not very transparent goings-on are going on. . whether you be in London, Berlin, Sydney, Seattle or Dallas: they would only be wallpapered otherwise.
Despite being just over 150 minutes long, this film is worth your while, for the interpretative performances as well as the story-line, very correctly directed by Sydney Pollack, and with Dave Grushin supplying some interesting music played by himself.
I go along with 6.6 on the voting scale.
