Review of The Rainmaker (1997) by Trailesque — 30 Mar 2022
This starts out like it is going to be something special, with Damon playing a young Memphis lawyer starting to make his way in the world, dealing with sleaze-buckets and amusing side characters (Danny DeVito, who is great here, and Teresa Wright).
He helps out a young woman who is being seriously abused by her husband, and a family whose insurance company is denying their son life-saving care. Unfortunately the story then takes a turn into bathos and cliched courtroom drama.
Good acting all around helps to keep it watchable.
