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

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. Full Review |

3/4 |
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. Full Review |
