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.

Customer Rating:
Summary: DON'T YOU LOVE REGGIE?
Comment: Highly underrated story of rehabilitated lawyer Reggie Love (Sarandon) taking a case for $1 from a pre-adolescent Mark Sway (Brad Renfro). Mark and his younger brother have witnessed a gangland suicide which has severely traumatized the latter. Acting quickly, Atty. Love defends the boy against not only the mafia, but against a legal system,led by state political wannnabe Jones. Jones wants headlines and notoriety, Sarandon wants protection for Mark and his family. The movie includes a memorable confrontation right at the outset, and a grizzly discovery of a missing corpse, just seconds ahead of mafia intervention. Somehow, this 1994 vintage production never seemed to garner the support that this reviewer has always thought that it deserved. Perhaps the underlying theme of "equal justice" seldom being the case for the poor and uneducated raised again a subject too sensitive to the privileged. Anyway, see this entertaining movie and then form your own opinion.
