THE FIRM (CRUISE,HACKMAN;1993)


THIS MOVIE WAS FILMED WHEN TOM CRUISE WAS STRAIGHT. YOU REMEMBER, THOSE COUPLE YEARS BETWEEN TOP GUN AND VANILLA SKY. TOM CRUISE SHOULD NEVER PLAY ANYTHING BUT AGGRESSIVE, AMBITIOUS, BORDERLINE MIDGETS WITH A FLAIR FOR THIN TIES AND WHITE T-SHIRTS. 1993'S THE FIRM CATERED PERFECTLY TO HIS ACTING MARGINS. THAT, MIXED WITH A CLEAR SCREENPLAY ADAPTED FROM A JOHN GRISHAM THRILLER AND GENE HACKMAN IN A SUPERB SUPPORTING ROLE, THAT PUTS ALEC BALDWIN TO SHAME, MAKE THIS A 5 STAR RENTAL. PUT IT IN YOUR QUEUE AND SEE IT AGAIN.
