I put off watching this film until just recently (2003). The reason is that a Grisham novel is difficult to make into a film. If you read "The Firm" and then saw the movie afterwards, you were probably as disappointed as I was.

I am also not particularly fond of Sandra Bullock as an actress. Demi Moore would have made a better choice and kept her from making some other lousy movie in 1996. Bullock always seems to remind me that I'm watching a movie and I prefer to get engrossed in a film so I forget that.

Other than that, there is a great cast here, most notably Matthew McConaughey who is excellent in this film. However, there are too many twists and turns to the story that make my eyes start rolling, if you know what I mean. It's just not believable.

I agree with the user above who wrote the summary of this movie. The only reason I watched this was because I found both Crystal Bernard and Traci Lords very attractive. After Traci Lords died in the movie, the only reason I kept watching it was because Crystal Bernard had to dress up in all of Traci Lords mini dresses and she looked very sexy.

Other than that, this movie takes too many twists and turns to be believable. Judge Reinhold plays what appears to be a silly character that turns out to be sinister. All I can say is that if you've got a few hours to kill, you might get a laugh out of this farce.
