Synopsis He knew the law, but he forgot the rules: Never get involved with a client. And never put your family in danger. Legendary director Robert Altman helms this thriller based on a John Grisham original story. Kenneth Branagh and Robert Duvall star in this complex mystery thriller. Step into the courtly world of Savannah's top-tier law firms. Meet one of the brightest young stars of the bar, Rick Magruder. And witness how his obsession with a beautiful, mysterious client, stalked by her deranged father, plunges him into a world of terrifying intrigue and deadly deceit. As a hurricane bears down on the city, Magruder finds himself locked in a battle without a judge or jury--only an executioner.

Customer Review Wow - 4.75 out of 5  (3/8/2001) I've never really been able to choose a film that I loved more than any of the others. Then this comes along. Without a doubt the greatest piece of cinema I've ever seen. Standout performances from all cast, especially Robert Downey jr, Michael Douglas and Tobey Maguire.

The result is a well acted, well paced, film with the best elements you would expect from both Grisham and Altman. Branagh, nailing a Southern accent, plays a lawyer who gets mixed up with a young woman with an eccentric, possibly dang   more >>
