Summary: Star power detracts..
Comment: ..although Susan Sarandan was not bad as Reggie. I kind of pictured Reggie as somewhat older and plumper, but Sarandan's motherly touch fit the character. On the topic of mothers, Mark's mother was fairly mis-cast. She was too pretty and didn't really fit the bill of chain smoking trailer trash that Grisham's novel portrayed her as - one of the many things that broke the spell of beleivability for me. I really felt all the star power got in the way of this story and let me just say that I liked the book a lot - the movie left me more or less unmoved. There were so many familiar faces in the movie, all calling to mind other movies I'd seen them in, I had a hard time believing in this one. The doctor at the first hospital is the guy in Fargo. Reggie's assistant (whose name I don't know) I've seen in a bunch of other movies. Most of the FBI group is pretty recognizable. Tommy Lee Jones was good as the arrogant politician. But basically this movie is borderline cheesy and unbeleivable.
To enjoy this story properly, read the book, though I wouldn't blame anyone who didn't want to after seeing this movie.

Settle in. Take a deep breath. Hold tight. The best screen version yet of a novel by John Grisham (The Firm, The Pelican Brief) delivers all-out, moment-by-moment suspense! Headliners Susan Sarandon and Tommy Lee Jones join newcomer Brad Renfro in The Client, a whirlwind thriller that "starts like a house afire and keeps on blazing" (Chicago Tribune). Renfro plays Mark Sway, an 11-year-old torn between what he knows and what he can never tell. A hitman will snuff him in half a heartbeat if Mark reveals what he learned about a Mob murder. An ambitious federal prosecutor (Jones) will keep the pressure on until Mark tells all. Suddenly, Mark isn't a boy playing air guitar anymore. He's a pawn in a deadly game. And his only ally is a courageous but unseasoned attorney (Sarandon) who risks her career for him...but never imagines she'll also risk her life.
