The Firm Ratings & Reviews
Pavel Yanev
January 30, 2025
Great movie!
New York Times
Vincent Canby
The movie is extremely long (two hours and 34 minutes) and so slow that by the end you feel as if you've been standing up even if you've been sitting down.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
With a screenplay that developed the story more clearly, this might have been a superior movie, instead of just a good one with some fine performances.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
The Firm amusingly satirizes the New Traditionalist aspirations of today's young urban elite -- not so much the lifestyle itself as the illusion of utter security it represents.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...a completely passable adaptation that never quite becomes the classic legal thriller it wants to be.
Common Sense Media
Heather Boerner
Too-long Grisham thriller is full of adult themes.
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
...pits Cruise against the world, with only his character's wit.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Two-and-a-half hour movies -- jeez, there ought to be a law.
Newsweek
David Ansen
A summer genre movie for grown-ups, The Firm helps restore faith in Hollywood professionalism.
TIME Magazine
Richard Corliss
Tom Cruise heads a tony cast in a best-seller movie that is firm at the start and infirm by the end.
Variety
Todd McCarthy
A smooth adaptation of John Grisham's giant bestseller that is destined to be one of the summer's strong audience pleasers.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
The book moved at turbo speed. At two and a half hours, the movie crawls.
Washington Post
Joe Brown
Cruise was born to play company man, and the role is an opportunity to sum up his old roles and transcend them with his most potently emotional work.
Washington Post
Rita Kempley
Pollack makes a solid job of it, as does Cruise. But solid isn't enough when it comes to thrillers -- or courtroom dramas, for that matter. Solid is great when it comes to office furniture.
Hartford Courant
Malcolm Johnson
The Firm is soft -- lumpy in its plotting and almost silly at times.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
This legal thriller is smartly directed and well scripted (by some of Hollywood's top writers), but, alas, Tom Cruise is Tom Cruise, playing yet another variation of his screen image.
TV Guide
This is a professional machine of a movie that compresses huge amounts of information into its two and a half hours of screen time. But it's so weighed down by detail, it fails to generate any real suspense.
FulvueDrive-in.com
Chuck O'Leary
What starts out as interesting becomes increasingly hokey and silly -- Wilford Brimley is ludicrously cast as the firm's senior hit man -- where it should be intense and suspenseful.
