	The Firm - Movie Rental Review
		So when Bandini Lambert and Locke, a small Memphis law firm, offer him a huge salary, a house, a car and, most importantly, a sense of family, he moves his life, and his wife, Abby (Jeanne Tripplehorn, who looks oddly similar to Katherine Heigl in this film) to the south.
		What's fun about The Firm is, most of all, the slimy mentor played by Gene Hackman.
		Fans of this movie may also enjoy other John Grisham-penned film adaptations, including The Pelican Brief and The Client.

	‘The Firm’ (R)
		For the first 15/16ths of the yarn, Tom Cruise, playing a lawyer at a crooked firm, is in danger principally from paper cuts.
		The firm's security chief (grain spokesman Wilford Brimley), a mob henchman in actuality, set him up and took photos to ensure his loyalty when it seemed Mitch was looking for a way out.
		This puts Mitch in a uniquely unheroic position for a movie hero -- he's in Memphis manning the phones and sending computer messages while Abby and his secretary, Tammy (Hunter), are doing the dangerous work in the Caymans.

		Classic theory holds that the first responsibility of any firm is to produce wealth for its stockholders, maximizing profit by charging as much as the market will bear while producing goods and services at the lowest possible cost.
		The Guide uses The Godfather series to explore the role of the firm and how that role is affected by the social, political and economic demands of the society in which it operates.
		The Godfather movies are considered as a unit and viewed as a case study in corporate life stages: Startup, Growth Period, Maturity, Decline, Senescence and, in some cases, Renewal.

	Qwipster's Movie Reviews - The Firm (Site not responding. Last check: )
		An ambitious young lawyer joins a closeknit firm of lawyers who offer him more money than he ever imagined and a seemingly idyllic lif in the suburbs.
		Problem is that this firm is more like a cult, and things are going down within the company that are less than legit.
		Lawyers are dying within the firm, and our young lawyer hero may be next to be "terminated".

	The Firm \| Movie Review \| Entertainment Weekly
		The fun of THE FIRM (R), a big, cumbersome, rousing adaptation of John Grisham's 1991 page turner, is that it successfully retools the nuts and bolts of the conspiracy genre for an era of warmed-over yuppie solipsism.
		The Firm amusingly satirizes the New Traditionalist aspirations of today's young urban elite-not so much the lifestyle itself as the illusion of utter security it represents.
		It's a pleasure to watch these flamboyant performers chew on their lines: The movie is a veritable showcase of finely cured ham.

		Film "products" like The Firm and Jurassic Park come as a package, however, and cannot be properly evaluated without recognizing the role that marketing played in their creation.
		Grisham and director Sydney Pollack in The Firm display a cynical vision of the human condition and a disdain for all institutions.
		In both film and novel, the plot (substantially revised in the film) is carefully crafted to celebrate the superiority of the clever individual over all agencies of society, from the Mafia to the FBI.

	Reel Movie Guys - The Firm Review
		A long law school grad gains employment with a small Memphis law firm, unaware of its mafia conections until he is right in the middle of it.
		He must choose whether to help the FBI or the firm, both of which could mean disaster.
		However, we'll throw in an extra half beer for one of the climactic scenes, in which Cruise beats the firm "security" henchman, played by Wilford Brimley, to a pulp with his briefcase.

	The Firm DVD Movie Review by AceGamez
		However, it isn't long before a few things begin to raise a suspicion in Mitch that the firm isn't quite as perfect as it seems and the secrets that Mitch discovers are so terrible that it will take all of his talents if he is to make it out of this situation alive.
		The Firm is a brilliantly gripping tale from hit writer John Grisham and if this example is anything to go by, it's obvious why he's such a popular author.
		The Firm is a great thriller; engaging from the word go and with a tension that is masterfully built in a gradual fashion until it is turned up to breaking point and kept there until the conclusion.

		The Bendini firm charms the pants of Mitch and it's not long before him and his beautiful wife are heading south to their beautiful new house and BMW, a far cry from the student digs and broken down heap they have been driving while Mitch slugged his way through law school.
		The Firm was published in 1991, and almost overnight John Grisham became a household name and a force to be reckoned with in the realm of fiction.
		I found the schemes Mitch employed on his behalf were quite inventive and plausible, but as the novel progressed in the later stages I found myself wondering how the Mafia could really be incompetent enough in their surveillance to keep losing track of Mitch at crucial times.

		When a Memphis law firm makes him an offer he really can't refuse, he trades his old Nissan for a new BMW, his cramped apartment for a house in the best part of town, and puts in long hours finding tax shelters for Texans who'd rather pay a lawyer than the IRS.
		He'd be set for life, if only associates at the firm didn't have a funny habit of dying, and the FBI wasn't trying to get Mitch to turn his colleagues in.
		Although The Firm is John Grisham's second novel, it is the book that introduced him to the masses.

		Tops in his class, he's ready for the big bucks — and several law firms are ready to offer just that kind of incentive.
		If that's not enough, when Mitch and his wife Abbey, an elementary school teacher, visit Memphis, he is impressed by the firm's lawyers, who all seem to belong to one big happy family.
		And then the bottom starts to drop out, as they learn of four lawyers who died in "accidents" and Mitch is approached by the FBI and told that his new employer is a front for Chicago mobsters.

		Mitch is caught between the devil and deep sea and finds himself unable to trust anyone either the firm or the fbi and both seem to know too much about him and his family for him not to join any one.

		Two members of the Firm die under suspicious circumstances, and soon Mitch begins to wonder what secrets lie behind the locked doors of Bendini, Lambert, and Locke.
		John Grisham's novel The Firm is a furious page-turner, the kind of book that you don't want to put down once you've started reading it.
		Sydney Pollack's film The Firm is the kind of movie that almost anyone could walk out on without feeling that they've missed much, regardless of whether they've read the book or not.

		The Firm, based on John Grisham's best-selling novel, is such a movie, in which the characters vie with the gadgetry as to who can be more machine-like.
		Meanwhile the Firm has entrapped the loving Mitch into a quick tumble into the nocturnal sands of a Cayman Island beach with a pretty hooker.
		Sydney Pollack nudges the movie on as if it were a marathon run at a hundred-year-dash pace, and the three top-flight screenwriters--David Rabe, Robert Towne, and David Rayfiel--may even have turned it into a relay race, passing ideas back and forth like batons or, perhaps, hot potatoes.

		But the movie has a lot of explaining to do, and none of its alibis are all that persuasive.
		The less we know about Silvia (her political, familial, and sexual past) the sharper the performance is. But once the movie has unraveled her back story and collapsed, single-mindedly, into a bathtub of melodrama and bathos, the character seems less like a woman and more like a blunt political instrument.
		All the movie's authenticity seems to have been spent getting permission to film at the UN, which Pollack and his crew, to their credit, capture as a nearly living organism that merely puts up with humanoids racing around it.
