    He trusted Holly Hunter's character b/c of her relation to Gary Busey, who had been cell mates with Strathairn. Plus the fact that she was in the room when Busey was killed by those two guys, whom Cruise knows from her description

    Grisham literally wrote a book called The King of Torts.

    The difference in reaction to Chris said it all:
    Chris: “…it’s not gonna make sense, but the Firm kinda reminds me of Heat”
    Bill: “mmmmm”
    Sean: “oh god!”
    Bill: “Sprawling”

    Wilfred brimley best line : I get paid to be worried when I ain’t got nothing to be worried about. !! One of the greatest performances as a bad guy ever . Jeanne triplehorne? She could have been massive as a great actress but her career fell like a big rock , almost by choice.

    Hopefully the Rewatchables gets into some of Coppola's 70's films, Scorsese's 80's films, and P.T. Anderson's 90's films during 2019.

    The movie barely follows the book at all. The movie ending was actually better than the book. A simpler ending.
    Tom wrestled in Fourth Of July. It was a big scene and why he joined the Marines.

      @@MrOctober44 To establish that the character of Mitch McDeere was a person with a background in gymnastics; that he had co-ordination, stamina, flexibility and physical endurance. The cheap payoff for this was that ridiculous chase scene later on in the movie where Mitch has to jump out of a four-story building, land in the back of a padded flatbed truck, spend the following ten minutes running for his life at top speed, and eventually ambushing one of his pursuers by jumping down onto him after being suspended from the ceiling of an abandoned warehouse. Ya know, lawyer stuff.

    Rewatched recently and entertaining movie but somewhat dated and not really anything special. Hard to see this being a movie people would watch over and over again.
