Review of The Firm

The Firm (2009)
1/10
Poor, beyond words
30 January 2010
It has no soul, no heart. It's empty, absolutely one of the worst films I've ever seen.

You can't help but compare it against the original, but even taken in isolation this stinks to high heaven.

Several scenes stand out for a complete lack of any actual emotion, and for a subject that's suppose to be about intensity, just that raw emotion, that's really quite staggering !! How any film with such a passionate subject could somehow manage to completely avoid invoking any passion - I just can't describe. It's like it was made as some sort of joke, perhaps ?

The fight scenes are a ham-fisted joke, the confrontation between Snowy and Bex actually had me laughing it was so awful.

"Put your hands together for..... Stanley" ?

It's the nearest to a round of applause this tripe will ever see.

Absolutely awful - all involved should be thoroughly ashamed.

If you're a film student perhaps, it's worth a look. File under "How not to do it".
