Boring cliche Grisham movie.
May 12, 2001
A high-voltage charge of suspense, action and humor.
January 01, 2000
It twists and turns in all the expected places, and almost never rises above the ordinary.
July 19, 2003
A lively screen translation of another legal drama by John Grisham

Susan Sarandon, the emotional center of the narrative, received a well-deserved Oscar nomination for playing a recovered alcoholic laywer who interacts with the boy as a surrogate mother and a pro.

It's a successful frame-turner, no more, no less, and the pleasure we feel is every bit as mild and just as fleeting.
January 01, 2000
Mindless, non-taxing fun, especially if you haven't read the book.

An engrossing potboiler ... if you don't think too hard. But when you need a pot-smoking Lez Zeppelin-enslaved swamp rat-with-a-brain to plead your case, you call the pitch-perfect Susan Sarandon.

Grisham's best novel-to-screen adaptation.
January 01, 2000
This isn't a masterpiece of suspense, but it has its moments and is capable of providing some light summer entertainment.

Pretty decent John Grisham adaptation
January 01, 2000
Not as satisfying as it should be.
