Plot

When a law student (almost about to graduate) is offered a golden opportunity to join an affluent law firm [with all of the perks], Mitch McDeere jumps at the opportunity. Things start to go sour - two Firm associates are announced dead, FBI questioning the Firm, etc. What can a man do - stay true to honesty and integrity, or follow the money? 

Rating Criteria

0/5 – No value whatsoever. Absolute waste of time.

1/5 – Barely worth any time.

2/5 – Pathetic but has a bit of something to hold the attention a little.

3/5 – Somewhat kept the attention but could definitely have used more.

4/5 – Good, but not awe-strikingly amazing. Could have maybe used a bit more to the movie.

5/5 – Go see it! Wonderful movie all around. – characters, music, theme, story line, etc.

3/5 - Having rated this 3/5 back in 2020, I had to review some of the imdb reviews to figure out why I said that. The answer is simple: long winded movie that had an interesting ending. The bribery and the trickery throughout the movie was interesting and cliche, but at least the main character's marriage didn't fall apart [though it could have, considering what was at stake with the Firm]. Heck, they even tried to get a hot sexy girl on the beach for Mitch to f**k, just so they could blackmail him eventually! Talk about dirty.

After looking over this again, I personally would say that it was an okay movie but I would not really be up to rewatching it soon.

Thank you for reading! More reviews to come eventually.
