Review of The Firm (1993) by Steven1981 — 19 Mar 2020
Tom Cruise is a very good actor and I like many of his films including "A Few Good Men, Rain Man, Interview with the Vampire, The Color of Money, Days of Thunder" and many others...... I've seen The Firm on a few occasions and it's very well made and Tom Cruise no doubt gives a good performance.
I don't think Gene Hackman really contributed much to the movie and what he did contribute was pointless. Jeanne Tripplehorn (Basic Instinct) was lovely to see in the film and her presence always cheers me up in a movie because she's a goddess! Tom Cruise gives a good acting account in The Firm however seeing Tobin Bell in The Firm was annoying and he looked out of place.
The best part for me in The Firm is when Tom Cruise is chased and hides then gets the badguys and runs off. The rest of it is pretty dull and mainly what we are left with is a long, dull mess with the film not really going anywhere fast.
The directing is beautiful but not much happening and I don't even understand fully what the storyline is if there was one at all. A very dragged out movie with little significance or little to really care about.
It's not overly entertaining but some parts are but it could of been better by miles. To me the only decent performances in the movie come from Tom Cruise and Jeanne Tripplehorn and the rest is doggy litter.
It's a watchable film but barely and that's all I have to say about The Firm. Could of been miles better.
