Malkovich: “I have a rendezvous with death, and so does the President, and so do you, Frank, if you get too close to me.”
Eastwood: “You have a rendezvous with my ass, motherfucker!”

That is really really great! You wouldn't want to sell it would you? Leary: No, I need it. Hunter: For what? Leary: To assassinate the president. Hunter: Now what do you want to do that for, mister? Leary: Why'd you kill that bird, asshole?

"I get paid to be suspicious when I've got nothing to be suspicious about." As ridiculous as that movie is, I can't help but enjoy the hell out of it.

Just be their lawyer, BFD. I think it's a good bad movie. Definitely way too over-the-top, melodramatic and is one of those movies that pretends to be on the up-and-up when it comes to accurately portraying lawyers and law firms, but it's a huge transgressor as to how any of that shit works (not that such a thing matters as to whether or not the movie is "good" or "bad," but as a practitioner, I feel it's fair game to comment). For instance, 12 Angry Men - great movie, but holy fuck does it butcher the realities of how a trial works and the things a jury can and cannot do. Part of the over-the-top nature, however, really works in The Firm. Ed Harris, Gary Busey and the real standout Holly Hunter (who got an Oscar nod and has something like 4 minutes of screen time) absolutely steal every moment they're in. Plus, Gene Hackman is one of my all-time faves. It also has the Jigsaw Killer (Tobin Bell) AND Hank Schrader (Dean Norris) in small roles. By the way, Dean Norris looks exactly the same today as he did in 1993, which is more to say that he looked old then, as opposed to being an ageless wonder.

The Firm definitely had a very good cast and some good individual performances, I just didn’t really buy the overall story. It seemed to me that it was to law what A Few Good Men was to the military - dramatic but unrealistic cheese. If I was a lawyer, and they paid me what they were paying Tom Cruise with all the benefits, etc., I wouldn’t care who my clients were. Any company that makes that kind of money probably does something shady. Hell, nobody with any kind of morals would work at Wal-Mart. Amazon is basically the mob now. Thinking The Firm hasn’t aged well. I’ve read from different sources that one of the most realistic portrayals of a trial is My Cousin Vinny.

Thinking The Firm hasn’t aged well. I’ve read from different sources that one of the most realistic portrayals of a trial is My Cousin Vinny. For a comedy, My Cousin Vinny is definitely more realistic than most other films about the law. They voir dire witnesses, they (mostly) accurately portray the cross examination process, even with (mostly) appropriate lines of questioning, their are valid objections raised and they are (mostly) sustained or overruled properly, Lane Smith's opening statement is pretty solid, there are constant issues of courtroom decorum. Sure, it isn't perfect (the Judge would never overrule Vinny's objection towards the end of the trial where he asks for time to vet James Rebhorn's character - that would be automatic grounds for an appeal) but by and large, it's pretty accurate. When it comes to accuracy overall, nothing beats The Rainmaker. That movie goes into retainer agreements, depositions and related procedure (which is similar to, but different than, a trial), courtroom tactics, bench sidebars, cross, expert testimony, stenographer procedure and most of it is accurately portrayed. It's about as accurate as any legal-centric movie I've ever seen. It even has a great deposition scene where Jon Voight, a top guy at a big law firm, tries to flex his expensive big law muscle against Matt Damon and the whole sequence is brilliant and completely accurate as to how those types of meetings and depositions play out.
