The Client
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. Before Jerome shoots himself, he tells Mark where the body of a Senator is buried. Clifford shoots himself and Mark is found at the scene, and both the FBI and the Mafia quickly realize that Mark probably knows more than he says. From TMDB

unlabelledView post →#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched The Sugarland Express, Hail Caesar, The Client, The Burnt Orange Heresy. The best film I saw this week though was 2006's The Lives of Others. Magnificent.
unlabelledView post →#NowWatching THE CLIENT (1994). Director: Joel Schumacher. Susan Sarandon, Tommy Lee Jones. Oscar-nominated Sarandon goes all mama bear as an attorney protecting a youth from both a ruthless D.A. & the mob. Rewatch. Brad Renfro's debut, whose life tragically ended at age 25. #filmsky 📽
unlabelledView post →I grew up in Memphis, so The Client (1994), which takes place there, was always on TV. Watching it now, 17 years after I moved away, it's still such a damn good film.
unlabelledView post →the fourth one was technically untitled but we call it 4. yes, I am quoting the 1994 film The Client.
unlabelledView post →The New MAGA movie just released...not the Client List
unlabelledView post →i have been on a little streak of lawyer movies which means i am watching John Grisham movies - so far i've seen The Firm, The Client, and Runaway Jury unrelated i also watched Disclosure (kind of a lawyer movie?) which i thought was incredibly weird and bizarre for a mainstream Hollywood type film

unlabelledView post →Yep! I loved the book and movie “The Client” and haven’t watched it in years now. Loved Ray Donovan until she joined.

unlabelledView post →The Client (1994) This is a great movie and you should watch it, not just because of the formidable glass block wall that embodies the inflexible, cold professionalism of the FBI, but because you get to see Tommy Lee Jones drink from a tiny milk carton.
unlabelledView post →Watching THE CLIENT (1994) for my Movie Club and it’s pretty bad but almost worth it just for Anthony LaPaglia’s wardrobe. The nipples … no one tells you about the mesh tank, the mobster-at-a-rave aesthetic. Not in the trailer.

unlabelledView post →- stole petty drug money from a guy who was in a Richard Linklater film with his ex - was picked to audition for the john grisham movie The Client when i was a kid based on a photo my mom sent in, but didn’t get it - Debbie Ryan, Tommy Lee, Dave Navarro all confirmed reposters of my memes
unlabelledView post →Joel Schumacher's John Grisham adaptation THE CLIENT (1994) is kind of a head-scratcher if it's supposed to be a message movie, but it looks good and has great performances from Susan Sarandon and 11-year-old Brad Renfro.
unlabelledView post →Is there anything thematically rich enough or funny enough in the VO that: a. isn't expressed already in Fassbender's performance and b. compensates for how much better the scenes with the Lawyer, Dolores, the Expert, and the Client would be if they were essentially the only voices in the film?

unlabelledView post →There was a point in the 90s where “based on the John Grisham bestseller” was basically its own genre. Big stars, glossy legal thrillers and morally compromised lawyers everywhere. #admitonedaily #theclient #1990smovies #ticketstub callsheetapp.com/movie/10731
unlabelledView post →Tons of great recs. A couple more that I haven’t seen mentioned… Not a thriller, but The Life of David Gale was one helluva movie. Also Sleepers. The Client. The Insider. Murder in the First. When They See Us was a miniseries that was great. About the Central Park Five.
unlabelledView post →There is a feeling when you watch a movie from before say 2000 where you go 'Oh this looks like a movie!' Like I watched the Client, a middling 1994 John Grisham legal drama and i was blown away by how good it looks!
unlabelledView post →Today's "watch it now before it leaves streaming" recommendation is 1994's The Client, an outstanding John Grisham adaptation featuring great performances all around, in particular that of the 11-year old first-time actor Brad Renfro, who paid a sad tragic price for his overwhelming early celebrity.

unlabelledView post →As Kat says, you do this even just watching a movie. I came out of The Client talking like Susan Sarandon. I don’t pick up Irish or Welsh accents, but I’ll pick up the rhythms. And sometimes awful people have accents my brain thinks would be fun, and I end up enunciating everything to avoid that.

unlabelledView post →Watched Joel Schumacher's The Client, a very enjoyable film filled with good performances, especially from the great Tommy Lee Jones. His acting in this and in The Fugitive are very much the vibe of him that I enjoy the most.

unlabelledView post →Rewatching THE CLIENT (1994) which I watched every time it was on tv as a teen but had no idea it was a Joel Schumacher movie. Now as an old, I’m like oh! this is extremely a Joel Schumacher movie (complimentary).
unlabelledView post →Yeah him and Howard Shore were The Sound for 80s and 90s film scores. I was watching The Client and I could call it out without even looking it up.
unlabelledView post →posting prompt: take the title of any movie and add "with Cum" to the end of it lol The Matrix Reloaded with Cum Hook with Cum The Client with Cum Space Cowboys (with Cum)
unlabelledView post →I loved him in The Fugitive for sure, but one of my favorites is Tommy Lee Jones as the scummy US atty Reverend Roy in "The Client". Not a bad movie either.
unlabelledView post →Movies watched tonight: Promethius 2012 dir. Ridley Scott Holy crap what a horrible movie. What even WAS that?! Ugh. Just horrible on every level of suck. The Client 1994 dir. Joel Schumacher I'd seen this probably 28 years or so ago. Still a pretty solid movie but not as good as I remembered.

unlabelledView post →36. The Client (1994 film) While A Time to Kill had higher highs towards the end I ended liking this one more as a straightforward legal drama (with some mob stuff thrown in). The two leads gave great performances and Tommy Lee Jones rounded out the cast nicely
unlabelledView post →A sequel to the movie The Apprentice, about Trump and Epstein. The Client.
unlabelledView post →I don't know if The Client is a good film, but it might have the strongest cast I have ever seen in my life.
unlabelledView post →My fave Harrison Ford movie is probably The Fugitive - am also a Tommy Lee Jones fan (The Client is also fab). Didn’t like Star Wars even as a child, but Star Trek TNG and DS9 are in my bones and veins (even wrote about them in my latest book). Taste whimsical!
unlabelledView post →#Movies you really should take the time to watch #278 - THE CLIENT (1994) Directed by Joel Schumacher Starring *see below* Around his Batman films, Schumacher preceded this film with FALLING DOWN, and followed BF with A TIME TO KILL, so he was on a roll. Great cast, awesome performances. Superb.
unlabelledView post →We played the ever living shit out of The Client. Well over 100. Ran the VHS tape thin. My audiobook sister worked at the movie store at the age of 13 or 14 We got screeners!! We were reeling in the perks. Living large baby. We didnt even need money for it. Brad Rebfro stole the show in that movie
unlabelledView post →kind of like in 1994 when a theater booked JOHN GRISHAM'S THE CLIENT and the kids film ANDRE so their marquee could read "ANDRE THE CLIENT"
unlabelledView post →At home? Not sure what’s on Disney or Netflix, sometimes it’s good to go back to an older film, just noticed The Client is on Netflix at the moment, really good. Maybe something like The Bourne movies. If you get the chance, the Bob Dylan Biopic is really good, Black Bag, the Elvis biopic. Good luck
unlabelledView post →i'm shocked by how bad The Client (the movie) is. it's so very bad. just a terrible movie.
unlabelledView post →The Client is my fave Grisham movie. Brad 😭😭😭😭😭
unlabelledView post →A great review of all of the screen adaptations of his books. My favorites are The Client and A Time to Kill in which SLJ has one of my favorite movie lines, “Yes, they deserved to die and I hope they burn in Hell!”
unlabelledView post →Is that from The Client? (Awesome movie by the way)
unlabelledView post →I live about 80 miles northeast of Memphis, so that's always been the nearest 'big city'. Saw The Client at the theater, though oddly enough that may be the only Grisham film on the big screen. The Rainmaker is my favorite, but The Firm and anything else that's set in Memphis always hits home.

unlabelledView post →lol! Love that callback. But 100% "Searching for Bobby Fischer" poster looks more like "The Client" than "Little Man Tate" in terms of movie topic.
