The Firm is on shaky ground By Lawson Oates and Dawn We The Firm, based on the novel by John Grisham, is a variation on the fugitive theme. Unfortunately, it lacks the screenplay, action and impact to make it a great film. Tom Cruise is cast in the lead as Mitch McDeere, a Harvard law graduate who is Tecruited by a small Memphis law firm. Unbeknown to McDeere, the firm is danger- ously corrupt, fronting as a money laundering operation for the Chicago Mafia. Though the movie is quite long, it doesn’t take McDeere long to figure out what is going on. Thereafter, the bulk Of the action is McDeere try- ing to get out of the firm, Wy & mest shops Chicken Nuggets Breaded All white meat. 50-60 nuggets. —" Gourmet Beef Burgers meat shops Prices in effect to Sat.

McDeere becomes a fugitive in his own right The Firm opens itself to comparison to this August’s blockbuster, The Fugitive. We see the similarities in the com- mentary on government agents, street justice, and the ordinary citizen, through no fault of his own, being put between a rock and a hard Place, and his attempt to sur- vive. What makes The Firm the inferior movie is its lack of action drama, sensational scenes, and the magic that a great cast can make. Cnuise is a popular, but lim- ited actor. Though he was Properly cast as Mitch icDeere, he did not bring any SUMMER OF ’93 SAVINGS SPECTACULAR 10 Mountainview Ra. S. depth or complexity to the character. He is credible as < recent Harvard graduate. After all, he does have the boyish, Ivy league look. The acting is balanced and improved with Gene Hackman in the role of Avery, one of the firm’s associates. Hackman adds a mature per- spective to the situation, and reinforces the story. He is on a roll as an effective supporting actor, having started last sum- mer with his award-winning performance in Unforgiven. Jeanne Tripplehorn is cast as the wife of Mitch McDeere. Her role is a difficult one to make credible. A wide psy- chological range is needed to pull it together, but the result seems disjointed. It is difficult to understand where she is coming from at times. On its own, The Firm is an interesting movie with the right amount of suspense, sub- Plot, and love scenes featuring Tom Cruise. Cruise fans will not be disappointed.
