| FulvueDrive-in.comChuck O'LearyWhat 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. |
| Juicy CerebellumAlex SandellThe fact that this was a hit proves, once again, that the average IQ is only 100. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranRebounding from his biggest career flopflop with "Havana," Sydney Pollack has done an ultra-pro job in giving spit and polish to this star-driven, sure-fire commercial project. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyThis 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. |
| Flipside Movie EmporiumRob VauxModerately entertaining... and a big step up from the book. |

| Arizona Daily StarPhil VillarrealA riveting drama, continuing to build the star of Cruise. |
| NewsweekDavid AnsenA summer genre movie for grown-ups, The Firm helps restore faith in Hollywood professionalism. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanNo one is going to confuse The Firm with art, but its high- cholesterol virtues-a story that keeps you guessing, a dozen meaty character turns-are enough to send you home sated. |
