Casting Tom Cruise as a lawyer? Of course you’ll see a lawyer doing a backflip on the street ½+ star for the vibe of Tom Cruise having wifey problems and taking a late night city walk again
I’m surprised I had never heard of this one, given how strong it is and how stacked the cast is. A nice little law thriller very in line with something like A Few Good Men. Maybe not quite as strong, but very entertaining. The movie gets really tense as the circle around Tom gets tighter and tighter until he eventually comes out on top in a very satisfying way. Some decent, if a little cliché, relationship drama as well. Definitely one of his best pre-2000s films.
