https://iili.io/3lGQPYG.jpgI've come around to appreciate Tom Cruise's movie The Firm. When I first saw it in the theater, it was a very literate crowd. It seemed from all the loud groans that the entire audience hated the film. But that was because we'd all read the book. About a decade later, the movie was on television, and I tried really hard to watch it without my preconceptions from the book getting in the way.
If you just went to see Tom Cruise playing a young, hotshot lawyer going up against the mob and the US government at the same time, it was actually pretty good. It's not the book, but movies pretty much never live up to the book.
