this be the most pointless film i have ever see a there be no plot and the actor do not seem to care . 90 % of the film have absolutely no plot whatsoever and i laugh so much my rib begin to ache . the bit where the old men when to capture robert duvall be ludicrous . on a directorial level make a noir film do not involve lot of rain sequence and pointless closeup on the main character . this be a failed attempt to create a noir thriller and instead alienate the viewer with incoherent scene . see a this be base on a amanuscript by john grisham i do not count this a one of his book to film adaptation a it display none of the suspense and engage storyline a film such a the firm or the rainmaker .
