MOVIE REVIEW ()  OUR VERDICT :"A GOOD MOVIE WITH GREAT ACTORS  BUT THE STORY HAS HOLES "
THIS MOVIE IS ONE OF THE FIRST JOHN GRISHAM 90'S MOVIES.

THE STORY IS VERY GOOD BUT WE COULD'VE EXPECTED SOMETHING MORE (WHAT ?? )

IT'S ABOUT A CHILD WHO WITNESSES A LAWYER'S  SUICIDE AFTER HE'S TALKED TO THE SUCIDEE. HE TRIES TO DENIES THIS CHAT BUT THE POLIE DISCOVERS HIS LIE AND WILL TRY EVERYTHING TO MAKE HIM TALK. SO HE HIRES A LAWYER (SUSAN SARANDON ) WHO WILL DEFY ANOTHER ONE (TOMMY LEE JONES) WHO WAS THE OPPOSANT OF THE SUICIDEE IN A UNCLOSED MATTER....

THE ACTORS ARE VERY GOOD : TOMMY LEE JONES AND SUSAN SARANDON PLAY LIKE NEVER BEFORE. BRAD RENFRO, IN HIS FIRST MOVIE, IS STUNNING AND DELIVERS AN ADULT PERFORMANCE.

THE MOVIE IS NEVER BORING BUT SOME TIMES REPETITIVE AND THAT IS THE STORY'S PROBLEM. BUT OVERALL, ALL LAW FANS SHOULD SEE THIS MOVIE AS IT'S BASED ON MORAL AND NOT ONLY ON LAW (THERE ARE VERY FEW TRIAL SCENES...)

DVD REVIEW ()
 THE DVD IS "FAKE"

IT SHOWS IT HAS MANY FEATURES BUT THEY AREN'T REALLY ANY OF INTEREST : THE MAKING OF, FOR EXAMPLE IS JUST TEXT (BUT IT IS INTERESTING ...).....

WE CAN'T REALLY BLAME THEM FOR THAT AS THIS DVD BELONGED TO THE VERY FIRST RELEASES SO COMPANIES WEREN'T PREPARED FOR IT !
