NMR: Grisham grabbag pt. 2

So I decided to finish off the films out there based on John Grisham novels. I'd write seperate reviews, but my thoughts are basically the same for both.

The Client and A Time to Kill: Both films boast some impressive casts that deliver fine performances. Without those high-profile actors, these movies would be absolute junk. Both of them go on for too long and beat a decent premise into the ground. They feature an endless amount of movie cliches that were tired 15 years ago when these films were first made. They work as decent ambient noise if you have them on the TV in the background, but as quality films they both fall just short. Rating: ***
