This is a professional machine of a movie that compresses huge amounts of information into its two and a half hours of screen time. But it's so weighed down by detail, it fails to generate any real suspense.

The first in a long series of unsatisfying Grisham adaptations.
July 15, 2006
This legal thriller is smartly directed and well scripted (by some of Hollywood's top writers), but, alas, Tom Cruise is Tom Cruise, playing yet another variation of his screen image.

...pits Cruise against the world, with only his character's wit.

Adorning the film, in supporting roles, are its saving graces.

...a completely passable adaptation that never quite becomes the classic legal thriller it wants to be.
May 20, 2003
The movie is extremely long (two hours and 34 minutes) and so slow that by the end you feel as if you've been standing up even if you've been sitting down.

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.

Too-long Grisham thriller is full of adult themes.
May 26, 2008
A smooth adaptation of John Grisham's giant bestseller that is destined to be one of the summer's strong audience pleasers.

The book moved at turbo speed. At two and a half hours, the movie crawls.

Tom Cruise heads a tony cast in a best-seller movie that is firm at the start and infirm by the end.
