 | | Cast: Michael Douglas, Demi Moore, Donald Sutherland, Roma Maffia, Caroline Goodall, Dennis Miller, et al. |
 | | Cleverly, the rather faithful adaptation of the book preempts feminist protests by making some changes, notably by eliminating an unpleasant female reporter and by balancing out Moore's nastiness with a gallery of likable, credible women: Douglas's lawyer wife, his secretary, a high-up member of the firm, employees and especially his lawyer. |
 | | The latter is energetically played by Roma Maffia (who might see a lawyer and change her name) as the smartest person of the film, the kind of legal eagle that you'd like to hire when in dire straits. |
