adonis98-743-186503 A young boy who witnessed the suicide of a mafia lawyer hires an attorney to protect him when the District Attorney tries to use him to take down a mob family. The Client is unfortunately another Joel Schumacher film that is simply a waste of time, money and definitely talent since both Tommy Lee Jones and Susan Sarandon feel like back up characters for this little kid to be the main star. The villains were boring and just cartoony and even worse? the whole thing with the mafia lawyer killing himself? Was beyond stupid and cheesy for sure. (0/10)

margiedempsey333 Lots of overacting and horrible fake Southern accents. A bit of ridiculous stuff in an otherwise good movie. Why can't they find Southern people to play these parts? Why do they insist on using actors and actresses that probably have never been to the South? We don't talk that way down here. We just DON'T! Watching it threw me off. The only real diction and pronunciation was the black judge; he was great. Real. Watching Susan Sarandon and Tommy Lee Jones act Southern is painful. I have to go on because I'm supposed to write at least ten lines of content but we Southerners don't need to rattle on to make a point. The bottom line for Hollywood: hire Southern actors to play Southern-based roles!

Gordon-11 This film is about a young boy who witnessed the suicide of a mafia lawyer."The Client" tells the thrilling story about a young boy who has to deal with the horror of witnessing a death, the subsequent legal battle and persecution from the mafia. The story is very intense, it grips me and keeps me on edge throughout. I feel for the poor boy who has the misfortune to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. I also want to highlight Reggie Love's selfless kindness to help Mark in the first place. She is a really kind person to help a kid who happens to enter an attorney's office, who might be dismissed as buffing."The Client" is an intense and engaging drama. I enjoyed it a lot.

Desertman84 A sterling cast headed by Oscar-nominated Susan Sarandon makes this slick thriller one of the better adaptations of a John Grisham bestseller,The Client.The film stars Susan Sarandon, Tommy Lee Jones and Brad Renfro together with Mary-Louise Parker,Anthony LaPaglia,Anthony Edwards and Ossie Davis.It was based on Grisham's bestselling novel about a street-wise kid, Mark Sway, sees the suicide of Jerome Clifford, a prominent Louisiana lawyer, whose current client is Barry 'The Blade' Muldano, a Mafia hit-man who killed Senator Boyd Boyette.It was written by Robert Getchell; together with Akiva Goldsman and it was directed by Joel Schumacher,both of whom worked in another Grisham adaptation, A Time To Kill.Mark Sway witnesses the suicide of a Mafia lawyer, who confesses that the Mob was behind the murder of a U.S. senator. Mark's brother is traumatized into a coma by the incident; gangster Barry Muldano is soon on Mark's trail, and in desperation, he arrives at the office of recovering alcoholic lawyer Reggie Love. With the Mob after them, and a ruthless federal attorney trying to force Mark to reveal what he knows, Love battles to guarantee the safety of her client and his family. The relationship between Reggie Love and Mark Sway is the center of the film, adding considerable character development to plot's routine elements.This legal thriller isn't a masterpiece of suspense but it has its moments and is capable of providing entertainment.Susan Sarandon, the emotional center of the narrative, received a well-deserved Oscar nomination for playing a recovered alcoholic lawyer who interacts with the boy as a surrogate mother and a lawyer that holds the viewer's interest on the main characters of the story. Although the film was formulaic, it still is worth the view for it has a good story to tell.
