The Rainmaker Ratings & Reviews
- edward8748August 4, 2025Very good movie
- Mike KempDecember 24, 2025Excellent adaption of an another excellent Grisham novel. Damon playing the underdog with panache and warmth makes for a rounded and decent effort of fitting as much as they could in a detailed novel. A worthy rival for any lawyer based story.
