The Firm [Movie Review]


The Firm [Movie Review] | When I read the info of The Firm on Netflix, it got me intrigued.

Somehow I see a bit of Mission Impossible's influence in the movie. I guess this movie got it all started.

Mitch, the top-graduate of his class from Harvard Law School is excelling all his job interviews. He finally accepts the offer from Bendini, Lambert & Locke, a law firm in Memphis. He and his wife, Abby, moves to Memphis and starts learning about the firm's professional and social culture. 

In order for him to pass his bar exam, all the associates lends a hand as not even one lawyer in the firm has ever failed the exam. 

Abby, however was not impressed with the lavish offers by the firm. She somehow thinks that there is something suspicious about the firm's interference with employees' families.

Mitch passes the exam and starts working hard, along with Avery, a senior associate, where he learns that most of the firm's work involves helping wealthy clients hide their money in off-shore shell corporations and other tax-avoidance scheme.

During a business trip to the Cayman Islands, Mitch finds suspicious looking documents in Avery's vacation house about four of the firm's associates who died under suspicious circumstances. And later that night, Mitch assists a local girl in distress and ends up have sex with her. 

Mitch starts to investigate about the deaths of the associates by engaging a private investigator, Lomax. Lomax later was killed, while his assistant witnesses the crime.

Later, Mitch is approached by FBI agents who told him that the firm's biggest client is the crime family of Chicago and the death of the associates are under the instructions of the firm. 

What will Mitch do - stick to his conscience or go with the flow?

MY REVIEW

Plot: 4.6/ 5.0 Old is gold. And it shows in this movie. Just when you think that Mitch has his life figured out, the firm picks something up from his past and uses it against him. All these gets the movie interesting.

Cast: 4.7/ 5.0 Everyone delivers. Even the secretaries are marvellous.

Will I watch it again: Yes, I would!

The pictures are taken from multiple sources on the Internet. Thank you.
