Tommy Lee Jones Is a Greedy Attorney in This Tense John Grisham Thriller

An adaptation of the best-selling thriller novel written by John Grisham, 1994's The Client is a gripping saga of struggle, revenge, and death. The film embraces the story's bleak storyline of children being chased down by the mob after witnessing a mob attorney commit suicide. Tommy Lee Jones breaks bad in the movie as a false hero, portraying a greedy attorney who cares more about fame than the boys' safety. It has elements of southern gothic horror, as children find themselves in a grim fairy tale, hunted by monsters.
