A wonderfully quirky cast under Francis Ford Coppola's direction makes this one of the more enjoyable Grisham movies.

Newsweek
Rating: B+ --
It's an intelligent film that doesn't cater to the usual eye-candy we face during the holiday season and is one of the best adaptations of a Grisham novel.

Rating: 3.5/4 --
Despite Mr. Coppola's taste for moodier and more eclectic material, this mainstream opportunity pays off.
New York Times
...[Voight] steals the show...with one of the most enjoyable performances of his career...
USA Today
This competent, anonymous legal drama (scripted by Michael Herr) is the best John Grisham adaptation yet.

Time Out
...The film's visual solemnity is undercut by a healthy streak of cynicism, and at times -- a rare thing for Coppola -- it's even funny…

Rating: 3/4 --
The Rainmaker is easily the best of the Grisham movies so far, and it has touches of excellence, but it's a routine work.

Product Description:
John Grisham's novel comes to life in Francis Ford Coppola's courtroom drama pitting the little guy against a large corporation. Rudy Baylor (Matt Damon), an inexperienced Memphis lawyer, and his legal sidekick, Deck Schifflet (Danny DeVito), defend a leukemia victim against an insurance company and its hotshot lawyer Leo Drummond (Jon Voight). Along the way Rudy befriends an abused woman (Claire Danes), helping her escape her husband (Andrew Shue). The courtroom scenes between Damon and Voight are the highlight of this legal yarn as Rudy learns the tough price of being a good lawyer.
