If you’re not into musicals, here’s another movie worth watching on TV tonight. Based on the John Grisham novel, and directed by Sydney Pollack, this 1993 legal thriller stars Tom Cruise as a young attorney seduced into working for a sinister Southern law firm. It’s sort of like The Devil’s Advocate, only without the actual Devil. Jeanne Tripplehorn (pictured with Cruise) is featured as the young lawyer’s wife, as part of a supporting cast absolutely bursting with talent: Gene Hackman, Hal Holbrook, Wilford Brimley, Ed Harris, Holly Hunter, and David Strathairn.
